ARC Ref 3 or VTL 6.5?

Thinking about upgrading my ARC LS25 II. Considering VTL 6.5 or ARC REF 3. My amp is VTL MB450 and speaker is Wilson Sophia.
Thank you for your time.

According to Bea at VTL, Dr. Scialli's device, which came out of the furnace in April, already was born with the new circuitry.

Also the value of some of the 2nd from top equipment that receive trickle down technology is incredible. It can often be a waiting game to get the technology in a lower priced package. No one can truly proclaim a best, but they can make a recommendation for best value.
