Cary pre-amp with McIntosh amp

I'm looking for a new (actually used) amp to replace my BAT VK-60. My speakers are Wilson WP6's. Despite the reccomendations of some, I have not found this amp to work well with these speakers. In my opinion this is due to the high output impedance of the VK-60 - around 3 Ohm!.

As its replacement one of the amps I'm considering is the McIntosh 2102 (tube). (Not sure about the output impedance on the Mac, but the input impedance is 40K in balanced mode). My preamp is a Cary SLP 98P. Can anyone comment on this combination?

P.S. I live in Alaska so my auditioning options are somewhat limited.

So far i never heard mc-2102 yet but dreaming one next.
I have Cary SLP-98L combo with mc-2100 and also combo with a pair of mc-225 on mono and the result is satisfactory.
Yuo can't go wrong with Cary combo w/ mc-2102.

Good luck.
