Fifty year old amps are popular with the vintage folks and those who modify them with modern parts, but most reviewers moved on to better sounding designs in the 70s with gear by Audio Research, Conrad-Johnson, Jadis, etc.
Better sounding designs? By who's standards?The three amps you mention have tons of solid state regulation to the point where they have shed the purist tube demeanor,and taken on the characteristics of the more prevalent solid state designs.
The VTL you use,are of the purist vintage design and they don't stuff tons of sand regulation in those amps and they sound very good.They also are point to point wiring,at least the ones I have worked with,as are the quicksilvers.
