CAT amps........Opinions please


I need some help!!! I am contemplating a move from my current amplifier (ARC VT200) to a used CAT (I can't afford new right now). Can anyone with experience with these amps offer advise as to which model might be the best to look for? Also, what are your experiences with ownership i.e. have the amps been reliable? Customer service? and most importantly, how do they sound compared to other amps you have tried? (I would love to hear any direct comparisons with ARC amps).

BTW, I listen to all kinds of music, and my room is aprox. 16x20.

ANY info is greatly appreciated.

Everything Jfox wrote about the CAT amps is true -- they are probably in a league of their own as far as powerful tube amplifiers go -- very special.

While all of the CAT amps are top of the class and you can't go wrong, my best hi-fi friend owns the JL-1 Limited Edition monoblocks and is familiar with the various models -- I'll alert him to this thread for his comments.
