Vandersteen 3a sigs- Tube or SS

New Vandersteen 3a sigs. Room is going to be 11x13x8. Thinking either two MC275 mcintosh tube amp, or a mc2102, or a mcintosh MC402SS amp. All three are in the similar price range that are going to be matched up with a Mcintosh C2200 preamp. Listen to all sorts of music all accross teh board. Like to listen at moderate volumes. If it is the 275's, they will be bridged to mono each.

Thanks,

Pete

The Mac SS stuff is nothing special The older tube gear is wonderfull. The tubes will get you your best sound.

I power mine with ONE MC275 in a 10x16x8 room. PLENTY of gas!I don't think you'll need 2. Also use a C22, MR71, MMF-7 and Rega Planet 2K. Very nice combo....

Is the pre tube or solid state? If your buying from a dealer ask to borrow a set up of each and return the one that doesn't float your boat. Tell him you'll need at least two weekends though.
