Sorry to weigh in so late on this one but my system now sings with a BAT VK51se. It does it all, huge soundstage, magical dynamics, subtle and powerful at once. Would add that I just finished the Omega upgrade and would recommend that if you were to do one thing to your system, save your pennies and do the upgrade. I had read all the initial comments and the 6moons article on the upgrade but went ahead mostly on recommendations from two people I trust without knowing if it would be that big of a deal. It is and more. The improvement is striking in all departments and raises the performance of these great speakers to new heights. System: Duo's (Omega upgrade), BAT VK51se, Audiopax Mono 88's-Mark II, Ayre C5xe SACD, Cardas GR interconnects, Duo jumpers, speaker cable and PC's on the BAT and Ayre, Elrod Sig 3's on the Duo subs and Elrod Sig 2's on the Audiopax, (2) Ps Audio Premiers ordered. Best to you!
Preamps with Avantgarde speakers
Hi. Although I’ve seen several threads regarding good amps to use with Avantgarde speakers I do not recall any threads that dealt with preamps. For the AG users out there, what preamp do you use/recommend and why do you like it? It would also be insightful to know what amp you use with the preamp & which AG speaker you have. Thanks for your comments. (Note, I have Duos.)
