I've owned both brands and like BAT much more. Needless to say, its going to be a better match for your preamp. The MF may be a bit more lively sounding but overall, I prefer the house sound of BAT. A lot of it has to do with it being a 0 feedback amp. You should hear more detail, better imaging and a cleaner top end. Keep in mind, though, you have to listen to it, not me.
HELP BAT VK-250 or Musical Fidelity A300cr?
Hi, all. I have had a MF A300cr power amp (225 wpc) for the last 10 years. Great amp, IMHO. However, I have the acquisition bug. I now have an opportunity to get a new BAT VK-250 (150 wpc) at 50% off list, but I can't audition it. I'm using a BAT VK-3i preamp, and generally dig BAT products. So, would you sell the MF and buy the BAT, or just keep the MF? Are there any trade-offs between the two, other than wpc? Is the BAT superior or inferior to the MF? Your thoughts on this would be most appreciated. Thanks, and happy holidays to everyone.
