BAT VK-D5SE CD Player for Wilson Audio Sophias

The BAT is a very warm cd player, with plenty of richness and weight. It presents a laid-back soundstage, you're sitting in row M. Not very dynamic or detailed when compared to other players. Depending on your tastes and the rest of your system, this might be a good match for you. I personally found the Wadia 860x to be much better, for me... more alive, exciting and engaging, but never brittle or shrill sounding.

I don't have a BAT cd player. But do have all BAT amplification and Wilson WP 8's. BAT and Wilson are a great combo.

I don't think you can go wrong here. You may get better resolution from the other players you list, but not better midrange, weight, realness imo-all BAT stregnths.

Again, my opinion only, based on owning several BAT units and Wilsons...

Good luck

An online review from a couple years ago had a shoot out between both the BAT and the Krell CDPs. you might want to look that one up.

... the BAT was the percieved winner, BTW.

Never heard it with the Wilsons, but the BAT is silly good in my rig!

It is a match made in heaven
