My BHK 300 monoblocks are scheduled to arrive this Friday! My Atma-Sphere 100 wpc class d monoblocks will arrive shortly after the PSAudio monoblocks. I anticipate liking both and will likely expand my rotation of amplifiers.
PS Audio BHK 600
Word on the street is that PS Audio has pre-full release offered their new BHK 600 mono blocks to existing customers. Looks like a P20 power conditioner without the display, so $0 spent on the external design and aesthetics (still ugly, unless you prefer the microwave look for your audio equipment). None the less, MSRP is $32,500.
Like many of the men who responded earlier, I am a big PS fan and have been for many many years. My current system includes much of their gear including a pair of the BHK 300 mono blocks. Those are phenomenal amps and were a big improvement over the single BHK 250. That being said, i doubt i will spring for the new amps as they are just out of my reach financially. I do know from experience with PS Audio, that these new amps will be killers and will probably compete with more expensive amps from companies like D'Agostino and Constellation. BHK was a brilliant designer and he will be missed. |
Yah...I will pay attention to someone who thinks a 455 GTO is a hot car...LOL |
Love my P15 regenerator, and when I put it in my system, it was literally the last piece of equipment I needed to get really good sound and it was like wow. Took it to a new level for sure. I exchanged a few emails with Paul when I bought it, and he was a lot of fun to interact with. @jasonbourne52 whatever, man I don't get the bashing thing around here, at all. A lot of folks need to chill. Well, my P15 was last piece of equipment before I discovered how good Nordost sounds. Ha ha ha I think the real art of this cool hobby is learning how to be content with what we have. And what we have not. It's all just stuff. |
That is a good point @mulveling . This is a whole other tier of companies and level of quality. I have a bunch of pieces of PS Audio and love them. I think they are great for the price and support is fantastic. Powerplants are a bit expensive but I found used for great value. 34k for a pair and you can look at so many big names. Time will tell. |

Geez, no need to bash PS Audio for simply releasing product into a higher-end tier. Just wait and see how they do. They’ll be fighting against brands with more cachet, so it’s gonna be an uphill battle, but good luck to them. It’s not like they just doubled the price of existing product. The BHK 600 is probably going to be a beast, and its price doesn’t seem out of line in the current market. I’d be more concerned about whether their new speaker gains any traction - that’s a far tougher market to break into imo. @jasonbourne52 why do you visit these boards if a 32K amp upsets you? Blah blah "boat anchors" blah blah "neurotic audiophools", it’s the same old tiring anti-audiophile tropes. |
@roxy54 spot on. I like my BHK250, but don't think I could justify $32k or even $16k for the BHK300 new. Used sure, but they seem to overprice themselves a bit in their BHK line. |
All that nasty S… aside, my observations look inside see what you get for your money, ahhh their not giving you anything and your paying dearly for it ! It’s a seller’s market, the better the blowhard the bigger his wallet. Crap comes out faster than Technology, if it doesn’t and you don’t buy they close their doors, that’s the fact jack !! Keep up the good work JB52 your heard negative or not. Cheers |
