Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not

I can only concur with the above posts. I no longer own any BAT gear but owned a VK-200 and VK-30. I thought the 200 was a good amp. I also 'thought' I was having trouble with the preamp and sent it in to BAT and the service was great. (The issue I was having was not the preamp.)

I've had a VK200 now for a year and still love it. I also owned a VK3i and when I decided to sell it to someone across the Pacific, Victor Khomenko had it converted to 220V and sent it off to the buyer for me. The people at BAT were very accommodating and easy to work with. Oh and yes, BAT amps run very hot. It makes summer listening a challenge.

I have always been interested to try B.A.T amps. After reading this thread, I am even a lot more likely to do so!

Steffo,

About a year ago I compared the VK200 with three other amps and chose it because it best delivered the qualities that I enjoy in a system. It had some warmth that I like, while at the same time delivering a good deal of slam. As a bonus, I was surprised with its great soundstaging. Deep and wide with good center focus. Matched with a tube preamp, I feel the BAT does a great job with female vocals and acoustic instruments, and definitely has good boogie factor when needed.

Give great consideration to what kind of sound or change in your system you're looking for. What amp are you currently using?

Good luck!

I also would like echo what seams to be overwelming saticfaction. I have not owed the vk6200 but do own a vk-51se and a vkp-5 w/ a their six pack upgrade makeing it a p10 w/o the step up transformer. BAT builds a great product for a fair price I do plan to replace my amp w/ a vk-75SE in the future I am one of those satisfied customers you could not go wrong with their products. David
