VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T

Hello, What are you thoughts on these two amps? I'm looking to purchase a pair of one of them. The speakers are Wilson Maxx II's.

VTL's price was raised to 50k for these amps so that might not them out of the running.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

THanks,

Dave Wilson is running Siegfrieds with Alexandrias in his home. AFAIK his previous amps were Lamm ML2.1. Call John at Wilson Audio and ask - he knows David's sytem very well.

thanks for your response...I should also let you guys know that my preamp is ARC REf and I also have the CD7. The the heat that the 610t may throw off wont be much of a problem as these will be going in a pretty nice size room.

I currently have the ARC Ref 210 and while they sound nice Ii'm looking for more power so in addition to the sound upgrade i will also achieve more headroom.

thanks again.

FYI - Dave's current system consists of ARC Ref 7, ARC Ref 3, VTL Siegfrieds and X-2 Alexandrias. And it sounds superb.
