Audio Research VS-115 vs Ref110

I have the Ref 110s (driven by Ref 3). They are phenomenal amps. I have not heard the VS-115s but my dealer says the VS-115s deliver 80-90% of the Ref110s at 60% of the cost. So they no longer keep the Ref110s as floor demos, preferring to have the VS-115s which deliver so much for a lot less. Some folks are willing to pay the premium for that last 10% of performance others are not. It is a very personal decision. Are you able to audition the 2 amps side-by-side?

PS: You have a great system. Wish you continued enjoyment with whichever amp you decide to go with.

Sdgron...understood. I was just passing along what I heard. Personally, I do not envision getting rid of my Ref 110s for a very long time. They do so much right and very little wrong to my ears. So they are easy to recommend. Hopefully, you will get others who have heard both amps who can chime in and validate our respective dealers' take on the two amps. Good luck and let us know how you make out.
