McIntosh MC2000 vs. Goldmund 29

I have ARC VT100mkiii amp and considering an upgrade. The two amps I am considering are MC 2000 and Goldmund 29. This may seem odd choice betwee tube and SS but I want to hear your advices. FYI, the rest of my system is ML 31.5 transport, goldmund 21+ DAC and digital pre direct to amps, Voce Divina Tenore speakers. Thanks,

The MC2000 is pretty special and although the Goldmund is a wonderful sounding solid state amplifier, the MC2000 is much more musical.

I owned a MC-2000 and sold it shortly afterwords.It is a beautiful piece of electronics but is lacking in performance against other amps in its range.I upgraded to ARC REF 600 mk IIs, not even a comparison.Unless you want more power, I would keep the VT-100.
