I see similarities in your appraisal of the VSi with my new SP20. The 20 is anything but tubey sounding with fabulous resolution, tonal neutrality and top end extension. On the other hand, it didn't lose the "breath of life" midrange I have come to love and expect with the best tubes.
I am often reminded, however, of your frequent observations about tonal matching. My older VTL amps are a touch on the traditional tube side which makes a great balance. I would likely not want to pair the SP20 with something like a Bryston amp. :)
