VTL information

I recently bought a pair of VTL Deluxe 240 monoblocks. The seller didn't have the owners manual. I contacted VTL and was told they don't have any information on amps that age (1993-1997). It has David Manley on the front of the amp too so I called them and was told they engineered them but they were made by VTL.  Although they were more helpful still now information. If someone could help me with any information I would greatly appreciate it. I want to get them serviced before trying them and am anxious to hear them.

Dekay,

Upon digging into that link that amp is different than mine. I have 8 807 power tubes. The Manley has 10 EL34's. Maybe the difference is in the different years or the two different companies. My understanding is that David Manley engineered that amp for VTL and they split from them.

Sorry it didn't pan out...

I would pursue info from Manley if you have not already exhausted such (I've only read good things about Eva).

Wondering if you spoke to Bea @ VTL.

Hard to believe that a reputable company wouldn't catalog and archive all information about past models, but it happens. From personal experience in the industry I know that Cartier watches for example would frequently tell me that they no longer had information about models that were 25 years old. That's hard to understand. It's not hard to keep a database.

Speak to Bea at your own peril. You have been warned…
