If I remember correctly, Stereophile had a blurb about the VT-100 mkII in comparison to the VT-200 amp. Check the Stereophile website to find out which issue it was reviewed in. I know from auditioning that the VT-100 mkII is a very fine amplifier. If I were considering tubes, this would be on my short list for sure. It can defineately drive the Maggies.
Audio Research a good match?
I am considering the purchase of an Audio Research VT100 Mk II to drive a pair of Magnaplanar 3.6 R speakers, with a Wadia 850 CD player as the source component. Is this a good match? Is their a better one for about the same price? Just how good is the Audio Research VT100 Mk II? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Thanks for your help.
