Looking for opinions of the B&K ST 125.2


and PT 5. I'm contemplating purchasing them, but I haven't heard anybody talk about them good or bad. My dealer says they are good, but of course, he's trying to sell them.

Anybody have any experience with either? I'm figuring I'm pretty safe considering they are B&K, but I'm left wondering a bit by the total lack of discussion.

I too cannot see why B&K products are not discussed more. I am running Vandersteen 2CE sigs through a B&K PT3 Mk2 and a reference 4420 (225/ channel). Sound is warm, nuetral and I can listen for many hours without fatigue. I had purchased a Sunfire Symphonic reference pramp that was supposed to "blow away" units worth thousands more. The way it turned out alleast in my listening room was that the PT3 blew away the Sunfire. I sold it about a month later. Maybe it is because a B&K AMp and Pre match well together but, with the Sunfire in the system, the highs rolled off, transients were not real sharp and the midrange was hard sounding especially the voices. I just purchased from a fellow audiogoner a counterpoint SA 3 to use as a phono pre. Curious to how this will turn out. Curious to see if anyone will challenge my opinions here....
