Thank you for all the replies here! I went with the Pass Labs 260.8 mono blocks and the results are amazing.. I will always wonder how the VTLs would have performed tho… wish I could have A/B the two before pulling the trigger…oh well…I’m going to go enjoy my new set up….
VTL MB-450 Series III Signature Monoblocks VS. Pass Labs 260.8 Monoblocks
In other words, Tubes vs. Solidstate amps.
I would value oppinions (with some logic applied please!) on the pro’s/Cons of the VTL MB-450 monoblocks vs the SS Pass Labs 260.8 monoblocks. I will be using these amps with a pair of Wilson Audio Sasha series 2 speakers, paired with 2 JL Audio E110 Subs.
My concerns with tubes are the fragility of the platform, and the fact that my listening space is a mix if 70% music and 30% TV/Movies. The Pass Labs seems like a more stable solution, but I really like the VTL amps for their sound quality..not that the Pass Labs are bad in any way.
My understaningf is that both of these amps are very good, but I’m looking for feedback from those who have actually listened to these two options and what you thought
