I have a pair of VAC High Power 100 watt per channel monoblocks and a Vintage line stage. All upgraded to MKIII status and about 18 months old. Tested by Kevin Hayes. What would the value of this be. Tubes are Svetlana KT88's

VAC Avatar vs. VAC Avatar Special Edition
Currently an owner of the VAC Avatar and am contemplating of upgrading ($700) to Special Edition and wonder if it's worth the price:
"All new coupling capacitors costing 20x the originals; same for most of the audio path resistors. Many new power supply capacitors. Sound with much more detail, body, image size, and harmonic content (especially in the bass and lower midrange)." - per the Vac web site.
Has anyone of you tried A/B these two amps? Any thoughts or perspective is appreciated. Thanks.
