Abe,
As a CS 3.6 owner I can say that I was much more impressed with the VK-200 over the CA-200. Even though the Classe had 100 wpc more power, the BAT just made more and better music through my Thiels. It(VK-200) in combination with the VK-3i has won yet another place in my heart for musicality. I think Thiel owners owe it to themselves to listen to BAT equipment with their speakers. It seems to have the right balance of accuracy (Thiels need and supply you with) as well as musicality (BAT has in spades).
