A few months ago I hooked up my new bat Rex three stereo power amp to my harbeth 40.2 anniversary edition speakers. I was astounded at how much better the harbeths sounded with the Rex 3 when compared to previous power amplifiers that I have used including Pass, Macintosh and PS audio (BHK stereo). The sound was so much better in ALL of the golden ear categories – clarity, musicality, punch, soundstaging. etc., It wasn’t just a small incremental change that I have been used to when getting an improved power amp - it was a quantum leap that I did not even remotely expect and was by far the most improvement that I have experienced with replacing a component in my 50 years of being a high end audiophile.
Hope this answers your question
