Is it worth it?

Hello I'm the owner of a pair of Revel F208's currently being driven by a pair of VTL - MB180 monoblocks. I have the opportunity to get a used pair of Pass Labs 260.8 monoblocks. Even at used cost it is rather $$$. So  I guess what I'm.asking are my speakers revealing enough to be able to hear the benefits of using the Pass Labs. On a side note I am not unhappy with my VTL tube amps just wanted to get honest opinions.
Thanks

Vtl sounds great, but built quality is not so great .
Failed power tubes often affect other circuit components

"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."

+1! I can tell you from recent, personal experience ... your speakers are THE most critical electronic component of your system.

You’ve got damn good speakers that punch way above their class. Unless there’s something you don’t like about them you’ll have to spend a lot more to exceed their overall build and SQ.

Just me, but I don’t believe these VTL’s are better than the Pass amps. If you could do an A/B comparison that would tell you clearly which would sound better in your system. 

But the Pass .8 amps are top of the food chain

 powerful VTL amps run very hot even in triode mode. normally in triode mode tubes run warm and safe to touch or definitely you can feel difference of air temperature barely close. In Ultra-Linear mode it's fireplace.
