seems to me that the VTL mono block is a better amplifier! Once I listened to my speakers (Rockport Mira Monitors at the time) through my audio research amp & preamp, and then listened to a similarly priced Pass Labs amp and pre. They both played nicely, but the tube gear sounded better to my ears (and my wife's), so I re-sold the Pass gear.
I am seeing that the VTL amps you have are pretty expensive as are the Pass amps that you are considering. You speakers are far less expensive than these amps. I understand that money is not everything in evaluating audio gear, but many people (myself included) feel that the speakers should take up a very significant portion of the system budget. Of course there is nothing wrong with having a great amplifier, and Revel speakers have a great reputation... But a $5k speaker and a $15k amplifier, I would probably go the other way around, and seek out a $15k speaker and a $5k amplifier. I think you will get a far bigger bump in performance that way.
VTL plays very nicely with Wilson. Just some food for thought.
