Stereo Tube Amp Comparisons


Can you offer any comparisons for the following stereo tube amps? I am looking for a musical amp, great mid range, great soundstage with decent bass control for a 10" woofer. I do realize that there is no "best" amp but I would like to narrow down my search by sonics as stated above, plus amps that are easy to live with, easy to bias, good manufacturer for assistance and repair, easy to get good tubes for, fair resale value. I have read many posts about the amps but I would like to see if anyone has more details about these amps and would like input from someone who has lived with more that one of these amps.

I am putting together a system for a friend who has:
CEC TL-2X transport
Audio Logic 34 DAC
Alon V speakers (3 way, 10" woofer, can be tri-wired)
Counterpoint SA-5000 preamp.
Currently using a Kinergetics KBA-75 class A 75 wpc SS amp

BAT VK-60
BAT VK-75 (non-se version) is this worth the extra $$$ over the VK-60?
VTL ST-125
VAC Standard 105
Cary 805C
CJ Premier 140
Music Referenece RM-200
ARC VT-100 MKII
Quicksilver V-4

Thanks and Happy Listening.

CJ 8xs;;Then a speaker that is easy to drive--Then the CJs will drive the hell out of them. Matchups are important.
