VTL-IT85 or Classe CAP-151 for magnepan MMG


I am currently using a Classe intergrated with my MMGs. Although the Classe has plenty of power I do find it a little flat, ( maybe lack of tone controls? )remember hearing VTL450's with the 3.6's and was blown away. Considered swapping for the IT-85 for a little more warmth and better soundstage. I've tried placement all over the room and Im using analysis plus oval 12's. Room size is 20 x 24 and a little bright. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, John

I too own Classe eq. and I think the problem lies in other areas, the room plays a huge role and speaker placement is most critical. Another thing is the current speaker wire, consider changing along with IC. Another helpful thing would be Tube traps or Echo Busters. Happy Listening
