I had a 3 weeks old BAT VK-60 for sale a big loss. The amp is great but I don't use it since it's not enough power for my inefficient Thiel speakers. I accept the loss and get whatever I can from it, rather than getting nothing from not using it. Motivated sellers priced to sell fast.
Resale value of BAT gears
It seems there are a lot of people who love BAT products. I'm one of them, but just a little confused about their resale value. Just saw $5000 VK-5i selling for $1600. Although the unit's been discontinued, the price seems ridiculous. I feel that the performance of BAT gears are way up there with other brands such as McIntosh, Conrad-Johnson, and Audio Research, to name a few. But these brands resale values are much higher. Why?
