In fact the King Cobra, in particular, produced spectacular results with the VT100 mkII. The VT100 mkIII has a slightly forward presentation compared to the MKII version. Could you be hearing the character of the MKIII version, which I have found not to be musically satisfying?

I agree that opinions depend on system/personal preferences as well as room interactions. But, I found that the Powersnakes from the Sidewinder to the Blac Mamba, Viper and King Cobra to be fairly neutral in thir tonal balance (as you go up in price the bacground gets quieter while the bass and midbass improve commensurately with greater transient speed.)
