Hearing is believing. I just started using an electronic crossover, running my VTL 450 Sig's into the ribbons of Apogee Stages in triode mode, probably equivalent to 800 watts given the efficiency factors ( about 225 W with no passive crossover loss ~3db and limited frequency range ~3.5db total efficiency gain ~ 6.5 db), with the bass panels taken over by a Bel Canto Evo 200.2. The sound is so utterly clean and effortless as to defy belief, and that triode sound is heavenly.
The VTL's are incredibly rugged, my 6550 tubes test as new after four years of use and I ran them in tetrode mode mostly before the electronic crossover, which was about 62.5 watts per 6550. VTL's motto is hassle free tube sound, and it in no exaggeration judging by my units.
