Audio Research V70 or VS55 power amp


I've got the V70 power amp, and have the chance to buy a VS55 (but can't audition it).
The VS55 seems a bargain, but only if it improves my existing amp! I'm using Proac 1027BE floor standers, and a ARC LS2B preamp.
I don't have any particular problems with the V70, apart from a "ticking" noise from fans, but always looking for improvements!
Any thoughts?

Didn't expect that answer, but I'm open to suggestions from anyone who knows ARC amps - I love the Audio Research sound, but I've not heard many. What else could I get to beat the 2b for second money $1600 (£800)?
Or could I upgrade the 2B in some way by changing components?
