I am not an expert on ARC but I have some experience with VT100mk2, classic30 and VT60se. For what it's worth I would say that ARC has perhaps the best "drive" factor on loads from my experience, compared to other tubeamps I know of.

I have also seen the facts on the arcdb site, but keep in mind that there are other differences also, like damping factor etc, and the fact that the VT150's are monoblocks - 420joules times 2.

I have not heard the VT130SE or the 150se's but I think I would like to own them before the VT100. I think they are classics but thats just my opinion. Difficult to say what amps would work best for you.

Best of luck to you

Atle
