VTL MB450 Monoblock Amps -Opinions


I'm looking for a tube amp with guts. I heard VTL is one I should consider. I'm just wondering what are the pro's and con's from present owners or former owners.

I do know they are now available in a new series 2
with autobiasing which the series 1 did not have. I
assume this to be good thing since they have so many
tubes. That being said, having to bias Tenors, C- J,
or my current Quicksilvers never to me was a hassle.
This may very well be a different story with these big
daughters of brunnhilde. I know there are members with
more first hand experience who can elaborate on this .
I heard they sounded real good on Vandy 5s at a recent show.May have been CES. I heard VTL A-B ed the 450
MK. 2 against their own S-400 stereo amp.
