BAT VK75SE or ARC VT100 mk3


In a small room 14×13.5 foot, driving a decent efficent spk JBL 89dB, What is their major differences sonically?

In term of dynamic, resolution, mid band purity and smoothness, bass slam, how do you choose?

All I know VK75SE is TRIODE power tube while VT100 is FET,6H30,TERTODE TUBE

They are both good amps..however I suspect they will hold to their house sound. I used to own a BAT VK75SE. It will give you plenty of meat on the bones, a very full bodied, richness, especially in the mids, the 75SE is also very solid in the bass and a very low noise amp.

The ARC's are more linear (even top to bottom), possibly more extended in the highs and lows, but will have a cooler, leaner presentation.

One isn't right and one isn't wrong. System matching and what you're after is key. If you happen to have a BAT preamp...I'd get a BAT amp...vice versa if ARC pre...
