ARC Amp Opinions Please

[Brad225]

I'm looking at a pair of ARC VTM200 monos that have more power, balanced inputs and better binding posts than my Classic 120's. ( I still have not decided what ARC to replace them with)

Have any of you owned or listened to VTM200's? If so any thoughts?

I owned the Classic 60, replaced it with the VT 100 III, and replaced that with the Ref 110. I'd guess my experience would parallel yours, except at lower power. The VT improved on the Classic in many areas. I'd say the primary improvements were in the low end, definition in general, and in top end clarity. Stage placement, using the VT, was also more easy to discern. The VT was close to an order of magnitude better than the Classic. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) the Ref is also better than the VT by the same magnitude!
