PS Audio M700 with the Vandersteen 2ci

Hi, I was wondering if anyone used a pair of PS Audio M700 with the Vandersteen 2ci? What I have researched is that the M700 has a class A pre with a class D output.

I fronted it with a tube Pre and it gave me years of trouble free enjoyment. Ran nice and cool.
