Question for ARC aficionados

Thinking of "downsizing" my system. I currently have an ARC LS15 and a VT100 mkii. My question is: What would I be giving up sonically(other than 3 db of headroom) if I replaced my current ARC pair with a VSi60 ? My speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagio. My room is about 15x20x9. I do not listen at ear splitting levels.

Thanks for all the input. I think I will look into this further. I'll try to find one I can demo at home, or possibly find a used one. Thanks again. --MABonn

I did own a Vsi55 at one time and was very impressed. It had a spooky holographic quality to it. I thought it had great bass but lacked slightly in soundstage and a tad in the midrange weight compared to the VAC Avatar I went to. Maybe this was speaker synergy or setup, not sure.

I am adding a vs55 to another system to try for a while. I can report back if anyone is interested.

Back again 3 years later. I still have not "downsized", but am thinking about it again. Has anyone compared the ARC VSi60 to the new Prima Luna Dialogue Premium integrated amplifier ? Thanks
