Best monoblock tubes amp with Vandersteen 5As

What is the best sounding monoblock amp for the Vandersteen 5A's at moderate listening levels in a 12 x 25 foot room with 9 ft ceilings, hardwood floor? I have heard them with Cary and Quicksilvers. The Quicksilver V4 sounded very good but what else will sound even better???

You have heard them with two of the best - might listen to them with the Rogue 150W monoblocks (do not remember the model number).

If you have the opportunity to audition some other tube amps with the 5A's, then I would add the following to your list: Conrad-Johnson (Premier series); Manley Labs Neo-Classic; and VTL.

For sure you must try the ASL Hurricanes or VTL's 450's.

And for a little different sound..VAC 70/70.
