with MF KW SACD and ARC Ref pre driving the Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers. Definitely the VT130 SE was more robust and visceral than the VT100. In terms of highs and midrange frequency responses they're about even, however, the VT130 SE was much better in plumbing the depths of the Wilson's speaker than VT100 ever could.
Sadly enough, he upgraded his WP5 to MAXX2 speakers and the VT130 SE just didn't have enough oomph to drive them properly so he bought the Krell 250M CX model power amp.
BTW, He kept the VT130SE of which he uses it to drive his B&W 30 Signature Speakers.
