Experience with BAT-VK-75SE and Wilson Sophia2?

Please see my system for details. I am in the process of replacing my VK-31SE with a new, black VK-52SE. I currently have an all BAT system, including a two-tone VK-250 with BAT-PAK. I had planned on replacing this with a black VK-250 to match with my other components, but am also considering the VK-75SE. Does anyone have experience with the VK-75SE and the Wilson Sophias? In particular, were you able to achieve loud enough listening levels with this particular combination? Did you use the 8ohm or 4ohm taps?My room is 14.5 x16.5 x9 feet. Thanks

I had the Sophias and 75SE- best sound i ever had. used 31SE, then 51SE as preamp.

the 250 is good (i auditioned both in same room at dealer), but the 75SE is leagues better. it has amazing bass response for a tube amp, and i never had problems in a large room with it---the Sophias are pretty efficient which helps.

btw, i felt the 75SE was better than the preamps for overall sound---the 51SE was remarkable, but i could totally see using a dac w/ volume control instead for a simpler system. (Alpha DAC would be the one i want to try)

Cheers,
