About the VT130SE
The VT130SE is a stereo tube power amplifier from Audio Research, featuring 110 watts per channel continuous output at 16 ohms with less than 1.0% total harmonic distortion (typically below 0.05% at 1 watt). It includes adjustable biasing and voltage input readings via front panel meters. The amplifier uses a tube complement of 4 matched pairs of 6550 power output tubes, 2 12BH7A driver tubes, and 4 6922 input tubes. It benefits from breakthroughs in transformer lamination and improved plate coupling, resulting in wider bandwidth, better power transfer, and superb bass control. The VT130SE combines meticulous engineering, generous power output, and user convenience in a classically handsome electromechanical package designed for long-term musical enjoyment. Dimensions are approximately 15.5" (39.4 cm) width, 10.9" (27.7 cm) height, and 22.75" (57.8 cm) depth, weighing about 35.5 kg. It operates on 105-125VAC 60Hz or 210-250VAC 50Hz power, consuming 620 watts nominally and up to 900 watts maximum.
