Audio Research VS110, VS115?


I am in the process of putting together a two channel system consisting of a seperate tube power amp and tube preamp. As I once owned (years ago), an Audio Research D70MKII and thought it sounded great, I am considering purchasing the company's VS110 or VS115. While I have read several great reviews on the VT100MKIII, the thought of getting shocked while biasing this amp leaves me "more than shy".
Has anyone heard the VS110, 115? How do they compare with the VT100MKIII?
From what little I have read about Audio Research's VS amps they seem to be a departure from your typical "tube warmth" sound. Is this indeed the case?

Thanks!

I am interested too. I have the lower power vs55 and have heard the vs60 in my system and can't tell them apart.

6550c what do you find are the major similarities and differences between the two VS amps?

I've also had a ref 110 in the mix for week now so I am jaded for sure.
