VTL amps warm up time

Have VTL 450, how fast do they warm up to the max before the best sound is acheived?

Ditto for your other components, be they tubed or SS. Also, don't even think about biasing your 450's til they've been on 30-45 minutes. The readings will definitely change if you don't give them enough time to warm up.
