Aronov LS9100 monos - upgrade to VTL Deluxe 300?

I run some Apogee Centaur Major speakers with a pair of the Aronov 110w monoblocks. I am wondering if a switch to some VTL DEluxe 300 monos would bring much of an improvement?

Would the power increase from 110 watts to 300 watts make a substantial difference in sound? The Centaur Majors have a sealed 10 inch woofer, and 40 inch ribbon mid/treble.

Any opinions on whether this might be a forward, sideways or even backwards step?

I have been using a VTL ST-150 with the same tubes for almost two years now without a hitch. Not to say I couldn't have issues tomorrow, but it has been very reliable.

That said, it is one of the best sounding amplifiers I have owned. And there have been many. I have never heard any Aranov gear, but it certainly looks well made.

Unless your speakers are very inefficient, I would be less concerned with the power rating and more concerned with the quality of sound. And that bar is pretty high with any VTL and Manley gear that I have heard.
