What does that tell you? I have a BAT tube cd player, phono preamp and preamp, and I like a solid state amplifier. I don't own a BAT amp though. I feel their tube products represent a very good value for the dollar, while their solid state products are simply competative. Their SS products aren't bad, they just don't represent as good a value, IMHO.
I don't think BAT's alone here though, Audio Research and conrad-johnson come quickly to mind, as examples of other companies whose tube products get much more press than their solid state offerings.
