Would an ARC Ref 6 be a good match for a VTL S200?

I mean in terms of input and output impedance.

I'm not sure how one determine these things and I have the opportunity of buying a used Ref 6.

I'd call VTL but I bought the amp as a demo and they always ask you where you bought their products from. If they don't like how you bought it they make you feel like a criminal. Why this is so I have no idea as I thought the resale value of a component in the audio world was a selling point. Obviously these people feel you must buy one of their products and keep it for life. To give them their due their stuff is wonderful but I'd never buy another one of their products due to this attitude.

I run an ARC Ref 40 balanced into VTL MB450III and it is a great combination. The Ref 6 manual states it wants to see 20k minimum so the VTL should be no issue

The Ref 6 manual is here

As to working with VTL they much prefer that you go through a dealer. I suggest building a relationship with a good VTL dealer such as Brian Berdan at Audio Element in Pasadena. Most manufacturers prefer you work through a dealer and this way you should have no problems having your used products supported. The real party at fault in your case is the dealer who sold you the demo. He or she should be helping you
