Opinions on the synergy between BAT components

Well, with some regrets, I have sold my Odyssey Stratos
amp, which drove my Hales T-5's very well. I have a BAT
VK-3i pre-amp and was curious what other BAT owners feel
is the advantage in combining a BAT amp (probably a VK
200 or 500) with my 3i. There's a lot of other choices
out there, including a Plinius 100 MK III for about the same
$ as the VK 500 (used). Any advice or opinions?

Dave, there is very good synergy between BAT preamps and amps. I own a Vk-60 and currently have a 30SE pre, but had a 3i when I got the 60. Though you can get good music by mixing brands, I think you'll be better served by BAT synergy. With your Hales, you definitely need the ss power of the vk-200. The 500 is mostly just a bigger 200, though it is dual mono, complete w/2 pc's needed. Good luck.
