PAL-
make certain that you audition whichever piece you are considering for purchase. The pre-amp is the heart of any system. Stated, I would get a comparison between BAT & ARC.
If considering ARC, I can tell you that the best piece is the Ref5 SE preamp. If this is out of range for you go w/ the Ref3 SE, in the least.
I have always wanted to demo BAT gear- so keep me posted &
Happy Listening!
