Question for ARC aficionados

Efner, your response is quite intriquing. I am considering downsizing because the VT100 mkii is quite expensive to re-tube and somewhat difficult to adjust balance and bias. It is also quite heavy and puts our lots of heat. I'm looking for something smaller, lighter, and easier to live with. When I saw the Stereophile review on the VSi60, it got me to thinking. My only question then was, "would I be giving up anything sonically ?" Maybe the answer is "no".
Has anybody else out there made the switch "down" in the ARC line? thanks for all your answers.

Thanks for all the input. I think I will look into this further. I'll try to find one I can demo at home, or possibly find a used one. Thanks again. --MABonn

Efner - Thanks for the offer. However, I live in Carlsbad, CA (near San Diego). Thanks again --Matt

Back again 3 years later. I still have not "downsized", but am thinking about it again. Has anyone compared the ARC VSi60 to the new Prima Luna Dialogue Premium integrated amplifier ? Thanks
