Power supply stiffness is only one metric

Regarding difficult loads, source impedance also matters. I had a VT100 MKII and found it was able to drive my earlier Acoustat electrostats very well. On the other hand, a pair of VTL MB-450 monoblocks having only 500 joules of storage significantly bettered the ARC amp.

Comparing the two channel VT100 to the mono VT150SE, you need to double the latter's supply: 540 joules vs. 840 joules. No comparison.
