i have B&W 802.. no preamp yet, and have to choose between Electrocompaniet 180 monoblocks and a B.A.T VK60. im helping a friend with money for christmas and am going to buy something from him.. i like both in my system, cant decide.. what would you guys chose?
hehe, both for and against here. i live 5 miles from the EC factory, so the service shouldnt be a problem. BAT is tempting because of the world of tubes.. i really dont know. maybe i can borrow the amps more.
BAT will always be more accessable, and available for used market... EC is nice stuff but from the few auditions I have had not super exciting, and bottom line I don't think EC will hold value as well as BAT if you decide to trade off down the road.
I have an all BAT system. BAT service is excellent and BAT has a feasible upgrade path for their products. Lastly, BAT products do well on the resale market.
