Thank you for all of your responses so far. You guys are great. Most of all you're smart and knowledgable about this hobby. Thats why I post. Even if I do sound silly, I figure its best to get my wild ideas out into the open and be done with it before I spend money on something I dont need. I now think I should refine what I have and possibly try some BAT tubes on top as suggested by Alexanderj. I cannot afford the Rowlands yet. Thanks again you guys for the input.
BAT POLL...
CALLING ALL BALANCED AUDIO OWNERS! How many of you wish BAT made more powerful solid state amps. I have their vk-1000 monoblocs and i love them. But i feel need for 500-600 plus watts a side minimum into 8 ohms for my nautilus 801's. Dont get me wrong, the amps are no wimps. But i'd like to try a bigger amp. But where do you find a big amp that is warm detailed (not overly so), crystal clear, and authoritative at the same time? Maybe i'll add 2 more monos and forget about it. What do you think?
