Experiences, good and bad, with VTL


Hi all,
I'm strongly considering VTL monos for my system. I'd like to hear from anybody about their experiences. Were they reliable? How often and how much was retubing? Most importantly, how did they sound, relative to other tube amps.

Thanks,
David Shapiro

Could not disagree more with the previous feedback. No mention of the reader actually ever owning VTL. I own the 25 TT and they sound great with no reliability problems. They run my Reference 3As. Cost of retubing is around $100

A friend has owned the larger monoblocks for 6 years, runs original Martin Logan CLSs. No reliability problems.

These amps do have a particular voicing and that of course is very subjective. I spent over a year listening to different tube amps before deciding on them. Will they rock your world with high volume, no. Are they quite musical, open, detailed, yes. Good luck.
