VTL MB 185 SERIES II

Any VTL lovers out there? Anyone want to chime in on these amplifiers? Good? Bad? I'm considering these tube monoblocks.

Used for a solid 9 months before I acquired the Art Audio line as an importer. You will want to used these in Triode. They are not good in Tetrode. Assuming that Triode offers enough power for you, these amps will not disappoint. I would also guess that they do not offer autobias. It is a giant PITA to bias them. But that is the case with many tube amps.
