VTL 450 SIG. vs. Wolcott P220M

Hi, there is a review of the wolcott at: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0700/wolcottaudio.htm

Great review. I am thinking of purchasing the Wolcott myself. Good luck!

I have a pair of MB450. They are incredible. They will give you the punch and sweetness at the same time. Check them out. You will love them.

I recently purchased the Wolcott mono's to power my Inner Sound Eros. The Eros are a ESL hybrid with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. The Wolcott's produce the best bass I've ever heard from the Eros. More tuneful and accurate than the bass control of my Classe CA-300. These amps are also just superb in the midrange and top end probably due to the generous banks of EL34 tubes. Far better sound and control on the ESL's than the Rowland gear I've used. Soundstage is higher and significantly deeper. The real story behind these amps is how tonally correct they are. From what I understand from Wolcott dealers they are an exceptionally good match with Sound Lab speakers. You owe it to yourself to audition a pair. Best amps I've ever heard. However, it's hard for me to think you'd go wrong with either the VTL or Wolcott. Regards; -Jerie

I have a pair of the VTL 450s and they have the most muscle I've heard in a tube amp, 'cept for the bigger VTLs. Big, open, spacious, and firm sounding. Plus: the company is more than just one 90 year old guy building amps - they'll be around for a while.
