I have 2 VAC signature 200 IQ mono blocks and I agree with your assessment. Nice and rich, but not "syrupy". With KT 150's they really sing and have a lot of lower end punch. No one would confuse this with solid state, except for the great bottom end. Great sound stage as well. This would be an excellent choice for the OP to run in stereo mode.
Lush and Romantic Tube Amps
Hi All -
I am on a quest for a lush, warm and romantic tube amp. Ideally, it should be 75 watts and upwards. I’m in a large room and my speakers are 87.5 sensitivity and 8 ohm. The room is large.
The system:
LTA preamp
Innuous Zenith music server
Merason Dac 1
Cardas Clear cables
Suggestions are welcomed.
