BAT VK75SE or ARC VT100 mk3

In a small room 14×13.5 foot, driving a decent efficent spk JBL 89dB, What is their major differences sonically?

In term of dynamic, resolution, mid band purity and smoothness, bass slam, how do you choose?

All I know VK75SE is TRIODE power tube while VT100 is FET,6H30,TERTODE TUBE

I found the VT100 to sound like SS. YMMV.

Did you have the 3's with 6h30, or the 1 or 2?

OP,

"All I know VK75SE is TRIODE power tube while VT100 is FET,6H30,TERTODE TUBE"

I'm pretty sure the BAT has 6h30's as well. I think all of their SE tube products use them.

I heard the full ARC VT3 system several times- and owned the VK75SE with 6h30s.

I strongly prefer BAT to ARC, but to each their own. I just find those old ARC amps really dry. The latest Ref 75 is better, though still not quite my cup of tea.
