Product Highlights

Output Wattage: 100 watts per channel continuous into 8 ohms. The Audio Research VT100 MkII is a high-performance, all-tube stereo power amplifier engineered with technology from the flagship Reference series. Built on a Class AB differential circuit, it utilizes four 6550 power output tubes and eight 6922 input and driver tubes. The MkII update features an enlarged 540-joule power supply, internal fan cooling for longer tube life, InfiniCap circuit enhancements, and both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA inputs connected to heavy-duty output binding posts.

Reviewers praise the VT100 MkII for its neutral, dynamic, and effortless soundstage. Audio critics highlight its deep bass tightness, pitch definition, and low-end slam, matching the control of solid-state amplifiers while avoiding high-frequency harshness. Reviews frequently emphasize its superior transient articulation and ambient detail, noting how effortlessly it handles complex orchestral movements and multi-layered vocal recordings.

Audiophiles seeking the holographic spatial imaging and liquid midrange of classic tube amplification alongside absolute dynamic authority will discover that the VT100 MkII bridges both worlds seamlessly. Its substantial energy reserves effortlessly drive demanding loudspeakers, making it a cornerstone component for anyone wanting to elevate their system to true live-concert realism.
