BAT VK75 / VK75SE Question


What a great way to get information !
Audiogon rules.

Just this week i ordered a BAT VK51SE and the VK-P10SE phono to go with it ! although I have never listened to these BAT amps, i am utterly confident.
In the near future i will buy the VK-D5SE Cd player as well.
The VK-75 poweramps are a fine match to this family, BUT what is the trick with the VK-75 against the VK-75SE ?

As you may noticed the VK-75SE has a substancial price hike against the 6SN7 based VK-75.
Should I buy a pair of VK-75's or should i buy a stereo VK-75SE ? ( and later buy the second one )
Mind you that my recources are now limited to either two monoblock VK-75 or one VK-75SE.

Is the VK-75SE so much better ?
the 6SN7 tubes seem to be more than up to task.
anyone who had a VK-75 or VK-60 stereo amp and got a second amp later ? what's your experience ?

thanx a lot for any relevant info !

Hello Tuboo,

The 75se is worth the extra money in my opinion. As Rgurney suggested, you can always add a second one down the road if you want the extra power.
By the way, BAT besides making "fantastic" sounding gear is also one of the best companies to deal with. Great people and products!

Good luck,

Tom
