Mono block or vertical Bi amps for Vandersteen 2Ce

I have a pair of 2Ce's and I am looking for a new amp/pre amp combination. I am looking at either mono block tube amps (VTL MB 125 or similiar) or vertical bi amp since the loudspeakers are set up for bi wiring (VTL ST 85, Cary Rocket 88 or similiar). Does anyone have experience with sound quality difference and recommendations between the two set ups. I am trying to stay with equipment that is reliable and can be found on the used market (VTL, Cary, Quicksilver...). I am also adding a sub so that might dictate the best way to set up the system.

Yes, I've run my 2Ce Sigs as stereo and mono powered speakers. My favorites in the "reasonable" cost category are the Quicksilver V-4 Monoblocks and the BEL 1001 MkV stereo amp. Both will rock the house and be reliable. No need to bi-amp. Just get a good run of bi-wire cable for either set up.
Cheers,
Mike
