I haven't heard the VX-5 but I *have* heard the new AX-5 which is pretty much the same thing but with a KX-R inspired linestage added and a bit less power. I think the AX-5 might be the best amp I've heard, possibly besting my previous "best evah"s, the Ayre MX-R and ARC Ref 250.
Soundstage was supposed to review the VX-5 this summer but I haven't seem them post any such thing.
