Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?


Hi,
I just got the speakers and need an amp to drive them. I was wondering if a VTL S-150 would be enough. I have a Cary SLI-80 right now and I dont get the tight full bass. The top end and mid is perfect though. I dont think I could live with a ss amp on Wilson for it would be too bright. Thx.

I have no experience with the Wilson’s, however I went from a McIntosh MC402 (400 watts, solid state) driving Dynaudio Special 25’s (88db, 4ohm) to a VTL ST-150 and have absolutely no regrets. The VTL is a wonderful amp based upon the 6550 tube. It puts out more like 180 watts at 4ohm’s. Plenty of bass, lush midrange, good PRaT, etc.
