I would assume that the VS-110 does not sound as good as the VT100. I have heard the VT-50 compared to the VS-55 and the VS-55 sounded close, but the VT-50 had more punch and resolution. The VS series is the ARC value series get the reliability and the ARC sound at the lowest price point. If I were in the market to purchase an amp from this site and had the choice of the VS-110 for $3.2K vs. a VT100MKIII or MKII in the $3.0 - 2.3K price range - I would buy the VT-100 without even thinking twice. I would assume that the tube replacements are still pricey - call ARC for info.
