VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks

Do you mean the 150 wpc VAC 300.1 stereo amp?

(Or is there some new VAC amp designated as 301 that I am unaware of?)

Yes the 300.1 150 wpc

I too was wondering this.

I suspect, for about the same $, that running a pair of 200's in mono may slightly outperform a stereo 300.1. However, I have not heard the 200.

If you want the real answer, call Kevin @ VAC. Im sure he'd give you an honest list of the pro's & con's.

Thanks Barrelchief,
I did talk to Kevin, he leaned towards the 200's in mono. "More vivid but less organic" to paraphrase. I just wondered if any one else has compared the two
