VTL's amps could be described as somewhere in between the CJ and ARCs. They sound more romantic and have more "Tubey" sound than the ARCs but they are also more detailed and have more upper end extention than the CJs. I listened to all of them when I was getting ready to buy my first tube amp and decided on the VTL ST-150. It hit the nail on the head for the sound I was looking for. I also liked the Rogue gear. I found the Rogue to be somewhere between the VTL and ARC sound but closer to the VTL.
