VTL ST-85 - Stereo Power Amplifier

This compact stereo amplifier, using 4 EL34 tubes, delivers a whopping 60 watts per channel and delivers a full measure of the “VTL sound,” but at a real price. Using the classic work tube that was the foundation of the VTL sound, the EL34 models are studies in compact chassis with short signal paths. These beefy amplifiers are capable of providing an exceptionally wide sweet soundstage from any satellite, mini-monitor or small floorstanding system. Listening to what one reviewer called “the weight of the brass, especially the trombones, is sensational” and “…made me realize how good these units are at portraying the subtleties of music reproduction that matter to audiophile music lovers.” We achieved this seemingly contradictory goal through careful engineering… An audiophile “Best Buy.”
