New amp


I'm looking for a high powered and musical sounding stereo amp without breaking the bank. I dont have twenty thousand dollars to get awesome system matching VTL monoblocks and dont want to mismatch my current hungry Thiel speakers. BAT VK-600 seems like a good amp and isnt too costly even brand new from some places. Has anyone heard VTL W/BAT? I see that VTL has a series 2 TL5.5 fully balanced preamp available also which may be the next step for me in the preamp section.

Thanks, Chris

Since you're mentioning this combo, I take it you like the sound of both, so there's a good chance it will work sound-wise. I have a VTL pre and had both BAT amps & pre, but just not at the same time. From what I can remember sonically, I think it'll be a good combination.

What's important is the output/input ratio, so guessing VTL will stay around 200 ohms output impedance and BAT has high input impedance, so this combo will work (on paper).
