Willyb, I just wrote a quick review about it on the tread lev335 or bat vk50/vk60. I am very picky on spending my hard earned cash, I don't like to make errors when all it takes is research(auditioning). After audioning many amps, I had no choice but to buy one(demo vk200 $1,800). I don't like it, I love it. With the bat 3i and vk200 combo its audio heaven for me(speakers ML aerius i). Before I bought it and knowing I was going to get it, I called the bat company and their customer relations is great. I actually after 30min told the guy I had to go. I did not find the above combo warm. It was deep/tight control base, and beautiful mids and highs. Surenergy......... Don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me. Audition at home. good luck pete.
