Thank you for your response. I have used the VT-100 Mk I with both of my speakers: Quad ESL-63s and B&W Matrix 801 Series IIs.

I am considering upgrading to a slightly newer amp, looking for better sound. I know most people consider that the B&Ws need a huge, powerful solid state amp, and I am considering some of those as well, but so far, I tend to prefer tube power amps.

I have read about problems with the Premier 140 blowing out tubes and needing an upgrade to stop that process. Any info you can provide about that would be appreciated.

C-J responded to me that a new tube set was $985. or so.

Best,

George
