You can but, it is not a good choice. Try and keep all of the speakers in you system from the same manufacturer.Good luck. 
vandersteen 2ce signatures
Try the Rogue M150 monoblocks (KT88's). I have buddy that has the Rogue 99 pre, M150's and 2CE sigs and there is more than enough low end. He is currently looking into to some bass traps to control the bass. Good luck. 
Arcam FMJ CD36 or Simaudio Moon Nova?
Take a look at the Sim Audio Equinox. I feel it is a little better than the Nova. 
Starting From Scratch - What would you do?

Is there a differenc between McCormack DNA125&225
The 225 has more power and is more expensive.OK now that the smart a$! comments are out of the way, I feel they sound almost identical. Except for a little more low end from the 225, obviously from the extra power. You will just need to determine ...

I would only ask for the discount when you are ready to make the purchase. But ask. I have only had one dealer offer a discount without asking. 
High Definition Dvd?
I heard a couple of days ago the Blue Ray (Sony) players will not play standard DVD's but, the HD DVD players will. Other than that I haven't heard much but, on the other hand I am not really listening.

Sim audio cd players any comments ?
What is your budget. The Andromeda is outstanding but, @ $10K it is a bit pricey. The Equinox is pretty darn good for $2200. Better than the Nova (not the new SuperNova) IMO. The Eclipse is really good but, my dealer said it's not worth the extra ...
