With the same 75wpc rated output, if you are a tube roller you will be quite limited in your tube choices with the VT80SE. Unlike the ubiquitous KT88/6550 & its small signal tubes, there are few KT150 & 6H30 tubes available. Many of us 'tailor' the sound of our tube gear by choice of tubes. With the VT80SE what you hear will be pretty much what you get.
