VTL ST-80 EL 34 Feedback and experience

I guess that tube amps even more greatly benefit from monoblock designes. With (i guess) the same tube compliment MB125 delivers greater power and so is sound precision and accuracy.
Since I service consumer's electronics I've often had a chance to bi-amp my monos(VTL MB100) with descent powerfull SS amps(mostly digital) and many times made a conclusion about shy-ish bass of my tube amps(or maybe all of them due to output transformer).
The midrange, top-end accuracy and holography I havn't heard yet on any descent priced SS amp(I bought them used for $1000).

Excellent Amp - Small and pwerful. Very mellow.....

I service high-end electronics as well, and tend to stay away from VTL products in general.

Hifigeek, what are your reasons for saying this. I own the ST85 VTL tube amp, no problems in the 10 years i;ve owned it. Thanks for any info

I've had some service issues with the company that date back a number of years. Hopefully they have solved these issues. Because of that, I no longer work on their equipment or recommend it.
