I agree with RHljazz. I owned a VTL ST-150 and pentode was far superior to Triode. As for the Cary vs. the Quicky, I think it would be more of a lateral move than anything.

Cary Audio v12r OR Quicksilver Audio M60?
I currently own a pair of Quicksilver Audio M60 monoblocks. Recently I've had the opportunity to purchase a Cary Audio v12r CAD-280. Aside from the Cary originally costing double what the M60's did, is this a worthwhile up grade?
In linear mode, the v12r puts out 100 watts peak as opposed to the M60's 60 watt. What really has me interested is the Cary's ability to switch to triode mode with a 50 watt output. Even though triode mode will give me a 10 watt drop, I've heard that this mode offers superior sound quality.
I'd love some feedback on this one. Thanks!
