Audio Research VTM 120 .......any experience?


Does anyone have any experience with Audio Research VTM 120 monoblocks? I have searched, but cannot really find any reviews on these. Would be using with a Rouge 66 Magnum, and Martin Logan Ascents.....would they have enough power?......any suggestions would be greatly helpful......thanks all

I have owned ARC amps for the last 20 years. I currently own both a V70 and a VT100 MK3. The VTM 120s were not one of ARC's best efforts. If I was going to pick an amp from around that period it would be either the VT130 or the VT150 monos. I bought my V70 as a demo and at that time compared it to both the then current VT-60 and VTM-120s. There was really just no contest, the V70 was better in every way.

You might want to also consider the earlier Classic/V series amps or the later VT100 MK1 or 2. IMHO any of these would be much better choices. I own a pair of ML SL3s and my VT100 is a real nice match with them.
