I owned a 30 SE and listened to a 50 se extensively. I have also lived with the VK75 se amp. I have also owned a variety of ARC gear during the past 20 years starting with an SP8,SP9 I- III, LS2/PH1 and have spent time with a PH3. I can't give a definitive opinion w/o knowing about your amp,cable, room and source- but I can say the BAT stuff is bullet prrof and I have loved everything they make- except for the VK20- which is ss and should be dropped from their line- The 30 and 50 se are magical in their ability to retriev detail and retain the natural pace and flow of live music. This is not ARC- hyperrealism/forward/bright- nor is it caramel colored tubes either. It is the best tyube stuff I have heard in its price range- I have experience with ProAcs, Avalons, Spendors, Magnepans, Meadowlarks etc
The big BAT stuff is very impressive..
