VK-55, VK-60, VK-75...

All three of these BAT amps show up with fair frequency on A'gon. There's a bit of a price difference, but not an enormous one, between the later E &F revisions of the VK-60; the VK-75 (which was the VK-60's successor); and the VK-55 (lowest powered, fewest tubes, but newest).

Can anyone which comparative experience differentiate between the sounds of these units? Whether the theoretical difference in outputs matters in 'real world' settings (e.g., w/ 89 or 90 db @ 1W speakers)?

Thanks!

vk55 is basically a cheapened version of vk60. vk60 = vk75 for all intents and purposes. vk75SE is a different animal, and if considering a 75, the se is really the only one to bother with. vk60 is easily the best value of the line, no doubt. vk55 = answer to question no one was asking... aka how to get the vk60 made cheaper and in a smaller box.
