Best PreAmp match for a MC-7270?

Hello Audiophilers, like many, after hearing McIntosh products, I fell in love. So here I am now with a MC-7270; I'm hesitating on my PreAmp... C34/C31V/C41/C42 or C40. (Mostly I use CD player and phono and a tuner. Dont't watch TV very much). For the time being Bose 901VI would be hooked-up to the system, but maybe planning on something else later on.. Did some other reading on PRE/pwrAmp matching, some guys came up with a 10:1 or even a 100:1 ration between output/input impedance, is this only applicable to tubes or SS as well.. Looking at something bellow or around 2000usd.

cheers,

Steph

That was my though too.. working around the years (era), don't care much for a remote, never actually own one! Previous system was a Carver MXR130, I think I will be going a couple notch up with MC7270 now, mind that the Carver gave me years of pleasure too.. Thanks for the input guys.. will process in my head for a little bit.. Roger for the ratio and numbers.. it will be a full McIntosh happy family!

cheers,

Steph
