Opinions on VTL preamps

I cannot report on anything VTL, except that my dealer here in Austin is a nightmare......... so I don't buy anything from them including VTL. I sent my ARC VT200 in to the factory, all was great. Nice people fast dependable service.

I have a deluxe preamp. I use it with a 200 watt per channel solid state amp. The combination produces a huge soundstage, depth detail and very little listening fatigue .

oh forgot to mention that Deluxe Preamp  has performed flawlessly since the late eighties ! No service at all

I used to own a 2.5. Really nice preamp. No issues what so ever. Never had the 5.5 but now own a 6.5. Both have been very reliable, no issues. 
The remotes work well. The 2.5s are a steal now for what they go for. 

I' own a 5.5 series 2 signature with phono stage. Its 11 years old now and has performed faultlessly.
