Can Manley's Stingray power VonSchweikert vr4 jrs?


Looking into upgrade options...4 bills large american per component. I have tentatively settled on the Von S. vr4 jrs, but I am undecided on amplification. I use a TT, and am drawn to tubes out of curiosity. I hope to get a EAR 834 blackbox phono preamp. If I don't do the EAR/Stingray tube combo, I would almost definately go with a McIntosh solid state integrated (includes phono stage). What should I do?

Revised question: what would be a good speaker match for the stingray be, in the 4,000 dollar (new or used)
Philbrady and others: thanks, The Dali's and the Acoustic Zen's both look worth looking into...However, they both seem to require a 50 watt minimum input, while the stingray is rated at 40watts (I'm not sure if impedence difference, or if the tube driven "watt increase" applies here.
