Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600

Has anybody had any experience with these, good or bad? I had VTL MB 750's before and loved them, but had to sell due to finances. I see the ARC Ref 600's use a lot of tubes. I do not need a that power, but I like the whole paraphernalia of the hobby. It's like having a hot rod. Sure, you don't "need" 500 horse power. Lol. Would anyone recommend the ARC Ref 600's, or should I look elsewhere?

I gave them a thought once...but after reading that the retail cost of a new set of tubes would be $4800 ...er, um, no thank you.

Find a nice used pair of Ref 250's if you didn't need the power of the 600's.
