Awesome ..... Good to see it made the long trek from the factory to your store!!
I have a feeling the sonic performance was worth the wait.

It so was. 10 whole minute drive. Biggest surprise? Power. Man, this thing is ballsy as heck. Meat on the bones, tonally rich. Love it.

Would LOVE to compare that to my PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated...

...or maybe I wouldn't. I can foresee my wallet getting a lot lighter if I did! :)
 
Mike,

What power tubes does it support? KT150's, perhaps?
 
What is the price and power output for the VAC? It may be something for me to consider when I decide to downsize, maybe sooner than later.

85 Watts/channel, but sounds more powerful to me. Drove the big Harbeth’s with ease.

I love my Vac 160iSE - and I'm sure this 170iQ is better in every way. Here is an old photo of the 160iSE at lower left in the family room setup.

It probably depends on the amp, but I prefer the KT-150s to 120s or 88s on my Quicksilver Mono 120s.

Sheesh - the price is not too far above my Wyrd4Sound Pre/Quicksilver Mono 120s combo... :hmmm::)

Did you remember to include the cost of the extra power cords and interconnects? My power cords cost more than my amps. :blush:
