Did this with a pair of TC 50s and they were incredible. Tightened and deepened the bass considerably. Opened up the mids and ... | |

| VTL Stereo 75, 85, or Tiny Triodes vs. 300B SET I can speak to the Tiny Triodes. Considered by many VTL afficionados as the best sounding VTL amp ever built. They are very quick, do vocals with great detail and accuracy and repproduce bass well if not with great heft. I ran them with Coincident... | |
