VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T

You will find KT88's richer in the mid to upper frequencies, you may lose some lower mid and bass structure, it is a trade off.

I actually own the ref 2. I am wondereing differences btw. those amps and siegfrieds or the 610's. I heard both amp's but in very differnt set up's and I am interested if someone has heard it in direct comparision..
Thanks

tonight my dealer brought the Siefried's to me to audition for a couple of weeks.

Let me say, I was pretty amazed at what that amp can do. I've heard time and time again the Wilson Maxx's love current. Well, the first time, I now know what folks are talking about.

The Siefrieds and the Maxx 2's took everything I threw at it with unbelievable ease. Even when listening at loud levels it was amazing how it held everything together.

Going to listen more in the coming days. I'll have the 610T's in a couple of weeks to audition and I'm looking forward to that. Though I've only had the Siegfried's for th evening I must say i'm impressed.

Jon_p I did not want to hi-jack your thread but I have some insight of amps with MAXX 2's. If you have the chance get some CAT's to try do your self a favour and do so. A friend has the JL3 mono blocks and the sound was marvelous, he actually recently replaced the MAXX 2's with Asendo M speakers which I will say I prefer another person whom I communicate back and forth with has the CAT JL2 SIG. MK2 stereo amp with his MAXX 2's and says it's a perfect match. I have not heard his system so I can't comment. I had the 610's trying them with my Avalon Isis speakers and VTL 750's but sold everything off. This was a set-up in my designated room and was having manly problems with the Avalon's filling the room properly, I have another system with MBL 101E speakers and I'm awaiting to receive CAT JL3 SIG. MK2 mono blocks along with Berning Quadrature-Z mono blocks. The latter only 24 pairs being made and from what I've read look very interesting.

My 2 cents worth, have fun.
