The Aronovs are great amps. They are rarely reviewed for whatever reason, but are really good. I have owned an ARC VT100 MK2, Vac 30/30/MK 3, Power 2, Cary 300SEs, and a bunch of high quality solid state. I also owned the Aronovs you are trading for. They are flawless, and sound wonderful. It would be easy to be happy with those amps, except that I'm never happy with anything. Such is the curse of audiophilia. The point is, they compare to all of the "Class A" contenders mentioned here.
Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions?
Looking to purchase tubed amps for my SF Guarneri's. Was looking into BAT since I own a BAT premap, but looks like I might be able to strike a decent deal on Aronov amps witth a fellow Audiogon member. Any thoughts on match-up with BAT preamp or SFG speakers. POV on Aronov vs BAT VK60 (monoblocks). Many thanks
