Any VTL experts in here?

Does anyone know if their mono block current model MB-450 series 3 is better or equivalent to the very first generation stereo S-400?
This is for my floorstanders SF Elipsa SE. thank you

I have the 450MKII Mono Blocks.  I'm the second owner, I got them from Friend, neither of us have had any issue's. I have never heard the S-200 so I won't comment.

"Better" or "Best" is what I try to avoid. Why not call VTL and see what they might be able to share on the pros/cons of the S vs. MB models, in a general manner, but also for your speakers. I have the the Amati Futura and these need serious current drive to get the woofers to come alive.  Sadly many well-reviewed "high-power" amps, SS and tube, choke with these speakers.  If you seek a tube amp, you should also consider the Manley amps AND CAT.
