VTL MB 185 SERIES II

the series II does have auto bias . that's why I'm looking at them. I'm a solid state guy going to tubes and want the least amount of hassle . They are 220 watts tetrode and 110 watts triode. 

In triode you will love them.  They are awesome sounding amps.  With autobias, I wouldn't hesitate as long as 110w is adequate.  

I have used VTL Amps for 20 years.  The auto biasing and fault protection is truly an awesome feature.

I own vtl  250 mono blocks for over 15 years , sound wise very good. Biasing them not that hard .  8 ,6550 tubes in each amp enough power for most speakers ,  rated at 230 watts each.

I have the MB-185 series 1.
They are incredible in tetrode in my system.

If they’re not good in your system in tetrode, you have something wrong.

It is also no problem to bias them.
If you have a multimeter & a screwdriver, it’s really simple.
