VAC 300.1 compared to VTL 450 Mk II or similar

Hi,
Wanted to know if anybody could comment on the differences between the VAC & the VTL (that are mono blocs. Also any insight into comparable amplifiers; push pull > 100watts per channel.
This is to drive either the Avalon Indra or the Magico V3.
Thanks
Tim

Here is a good read. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1144959441&read&keyw&zzvac+300+1

I have had both and I can tell you that the VAC sounded better for me. The VTL's are tube eaters also.

I can't imagine the VTl sounding better then the 300.1 on any speaker, well maybe the maggies since they practically need nuclear power.

With the older wilsons the VTL's might work better but with the newer tamed Wilsons the 300.1 would bring them to life.
