Sonic Frontiers Power 2 or ARC VT-100 MKII???

Has anyone compared these two amps? What did you hear and which one is easier to live with long term?

Thanks and Happy Listening

Charming isn't my long suit. When you put this 'other' amp in the trash----use a plain brown wrapper and make sure you do this in the middle of the night, so as not to be seen by others.

That being said, the highs are the only thing that I am not crazy about with the SF amps. They seem to be a tad congested. I do not remember about biasing the SF2's, but I remember it is no fun with the ARC. The other thing to be aware of with any ARC amplifier is when a tube goes, it generally takes out a resister and a foil. Unless you have a great and reasonable technician, ARC will gauge you.
