Vandersteen 2ci with tube amps

What are your thoughts on tube pre and amp with the Vandersteen 2ci? I can acquire a Audio Research LS2 with a V70 from someone that is near me.

Use the 8-ohm output tap on the V70 and it should be magical. Call Richard Vandersteen and he will tell you the same.

Might be a little over my budget but do you think would be a significant improvement?

Well, YES! Vandersteen Quatros and their bookshelf VLR love tubes. If you haven't seen Richard's setup video, you can see the ARC setup he has.
