BAT at CES?

jeez louise bstefano, the look is at least timeless in the manner of Lamm and other top tube equipment. If you must have industrial design, then go SS with JRDG or Krell. Fact is this was one of the top sounds at CES/THE Show.

Thanks Dgarretson and Maril555 for the observations regarding the sonic traits of RexPower.

Victor - would you be available to characterize the sonic attributes of RexPower and compare them to the 150 SE's?

Sdrenslow, I'm with you:

51SE and D5SE (via Guy/AudiogoN)
75SE (via Ilia/AudiogoN)
150SE's (via Glenn Poor's AV/AudiogoN)
Rex pre (via Bobby/AudiogoN)
150SE's - another pair to drive MegaLines (via Ric/AudiogoN)

Dgarretson:

"Fact is this was one of the top sounds at CES/THE Show."

That's a terrific statement, particularly since you have experience modifying BAT amps!

Happy New Year to BAT and all,
Sam

p.s. Bobby, be careful with those Ferrari references – lol.

Dgarretson ,timeless is cool. but again with the same timeless look? It is just tired looking. Why have to settle for SS? From what we are reading, it sounds like the new Rex amps sound killer. My friend who is a BAT dealer confirmed this as well from CES. For me, design is a big issue. glowing tubes is a it neat look but I have waited for a redesign which I thought would be more stream lined.30K? It did not come. Oh well,I will have to go for the great sound. I just think new should be new. Ferrai 599 all the way C1!Thanks for the photos Sdrenslow!!

To me the main difference in sound between the RexPower and the VK-150SE's is the more free sound. I usually try not to make too many subjective statements, letting the customers speak instead, but in a few words it is a more dynamic and powerful sound that doesn't seem to lose any finesse.

Regarding the new VK-255SE - the main change is in the power supply area.

And since someone mentioned the cars and styles - hey, give me the E39 any day over the Bangle job! :)

Victor, I am currious to know if there is a successor for the VK-600 SE ?
