Desmondjim is right on. I once tried a ARC vt-100 mk2, it
sounded too much like a transistor amp to my ears. The VTL's
seem to have a much warmer midrange and a nice top end. My
300 mono blocs do have real bass, again alittle warmer than
competing arc's. The bottom line for me is the VTL's sound
more real and less like hifi than the ARC did. I am using Apogee stages, so your results might be different.
Hope this helps Bob
