I have a VTL ST-150 , and the Amp is amazing ! Tubes can get costly about $ 300.00 for 8 Svetlana 6550C s . But they last a couple of years for me. The average SS does not come close . You need to step up to the Big Bucks SS to Give the tubes some competition Pass, Rowland etc Good luck
PS Make sure you have some help the VTL Stuff weighs a TON!
