BAT VK-300K SE vs. Ayre AX-7e integrateds


I was ready to pick up the Ayre to drive my PSB synchrony ones but I may have an option to get a BAT VK-300k SE. I know the Ayre sounds amazing, but how is the BAT compared to the Ayre? I know the BAT is more money but the Ayre sounds awesome.

Thanks!

I'm not a VK-300K SE owner, but I've been a VK-60 owner for several years and just recently moved to an AX-7e. I can tell you the differences are negligible but enjoyed. Simply put - I feel BAT and Ayre are definitely complimentary of one another. Meaning, I'm not missing anything moving to the Ayre, but respect the difference between tubes and solid state.
