Thanks for this tip. I read that review but didn't focus on the test results, mostly because I don't understand them that well. But this certainly causes me to have pause about further consideration of the VT-200. They're so big, heavy and hot, there would have to be some tremendous differences in performance to justify those liabilities, and the power difference would likely be of negligible benefit. My room is 14 x 22 with the speakers ca. 8 feet apart out from the 14-foot wall. I listen at what I would guess are moderate levels (ca. 90 db peaks on my RS meter).

My VT-100 is in for repairs, so I'll see what the "doctor" orders for repair of it before I buy anything else.

Thanks,

George
