Hello Hpfish, If you can try and check out the BAT 51se. As good as the 50se was and is, the 51se is a BIG step up from it. Bat is being very modest in my opinion on just how much better the 51se is over the 50. It does all the hi-fi things on a much higher level and at the same time is profoundly more "musically" engaging. Please give your self a chance to hear it in your system. Good luck, Thomas Colato
BAT VK50SE vs CJ 16LS vs ARC 25mrk II/Ref2
I'm thinking to upgrade my pre-amp from ARC LS2 to a better remote control pre-amp. What is best driving a tube amp (Wolcott) and SoundLab speakers? Is there big difference between ARC ref2 and ARC ref2mrk2? Thanks for any input.
