Doug said: I can strongly recommend the VM60 to those who desire a bit of tube magic, and whose speakers will mate well with them. What I heard from the VM60s was extraordinarily good sound for the price.

Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.

The gist: Good-sounding, high-value tube monos from Asia.
