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,

Khrys,

I have to agree with you...the Maxx's love current. I've never heard them sound so good. So far, the Siegfried is very impressive. The vocals sound incredible and it has bass for days.

How are going with the amp choice, have you heard the AR 610 yet? Ours have 255 hours now and have opened up considerably.
I have a VTL S400 that is similar in design to the Siegfrieds I love it. Like the reviewer from IAR, it completely disappears. I did make one huge improvement. I was lucky enough to find 12 NOS GE 6550's (still had the VTL logo on the them). They made a huge difference-I could not listen to the "stock" 6550's after I changed them. If you can find the GE's give them a try (kind of expensive and you'll need a lot of them)
