Narrative:
A B737-800 was following a CE501 on a visual approach to 19R at sna. When I told the B737-800 'follow the CE501; cleared visual approach runway 19R;' the B737-800 did not read back the 'follow the CE501' portion. The B737-800 only read back 'cleared visual approach runway 19R.' of course the tower lets the CE501 slow to 100 KTS on a six mile final so there is no way the B737-800 can possibly stay slow enough even though the sequence started with good spacing. So inevitably the B737-800 went around. I am sure the tower had visual separation between the two aircraft; but I still should have made the B737-800 say that it was following the CE501. It was a poor ending to a poor session exacerbated by new procedures. Maybe the tower at sna could have made the CE501 fly 120 KTS; that's all it would have taken; they are radar qualified.
