Best monoblock tube amp with Vandersteen 5A


What is the best preamp/monoblock tube amp combination with the Vandersteen 5A's? What does Vandersteen use with his personal pair? I have heard Manley (too forward), and QuickSilvers (nice). Any other suggestions? What about a preamp for under 8K???

Joule Electra monoblocks at CES made the best sound I've ever heard from andys. Not sure which model, but it might have been the Rite of Passage. Heard some nice vinyl via VPI Scoutmaster, Joule preamp, Elrod cables. One of better rooms at CES, IMHO. Cheers,
