VTL-IT85 or Classe CAP-151 for magnepan MMG

I am currently using a Classe intergrated with my MMGs. Although the Classe has plenty of power I do find it a little flat, ( maybe lack of tone controls? )remember hearing VTL450's with the 3.6's and was blown away. Considered swapping for the IT-85 for a little more warmth and better soundstage. I've tried placement all over the room and Im using analysis plus oval 12's. Room size is 20 x 24 and a little bright. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, John

I've never tried the 12's. I have WBT locking banana's on the ends. I'm shure the T1 spades would be a pain. I'also have 3.6's, but use MIT 770 & 770 tube in an active bi-amp set up.

I would try some different speaker cables and interconnects. I know these are just MMG's, but a good quality speaker cable and interconnect can make or break it. I have MMG's and use MIT termiator 2's for interconnects and AP oval 9 speaker. (TV sound) For my 3.6's I use MIT ref level interconnects and MIT 770 series speaker. I also use Classe CA400 with the 3.6's. You might want to inquire over in the audio asylum planar forum.
