I just bought a quad of KT150s from upscale audio. I initially tried them in my audio research VSI 60. They have a little more bass than the KT120 but the amp is still cold, clinical, and revealing. Not really worth the upgrade in this amp unless your current tubes are spent.
Next, I swapped out the KT120s in my Primaluna EVO 300 for the KT150s. I was expecting more bass, but not this much more bass. My KLH model 5 speakers really came to life with these tubes. It’s like running a giant overpowered solid state amp, but it sounds like a tube amp! I listen to rock, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, etc. The power and dynamics are really fun and engaging.
Comparing both amps, The Primaluna has more bass and is much warmer and more engaging to listen to. The AR is a little more revealing, but in every other regard I prefer the Primaluna. The AR VSI 60 is very good in more of a power amp role. It’s great with my Fosgate signature tube phono stage.
If you like rock, with strong bass and dynamics, the KT150s are awesome in Primalunas. Going from KT88 to KT120 is noticeable, but KT120s to KT150s is a striking difference.
