To Sell or Keep?

At some point, I may consider a second system and can fit the BAT into that one. Also, I want to spend a good deal of time with the DS to ensure that I'm not listening currently with rose colored ears.

@rlb61, thanks for the update, please keep us posted on the developments.

Agree with your well reasoned approach to keep the BAT for awhile. I have let go of many pieces replacing with improvements and didn't look back. A few items like original, one off Dan D'Agostino satellite/sub speakers from the 1970's I keep out off pure nostalgia. My 1980's Thiels best them, but the D'Agostino's aren't too far off the mark. 

I too look forward to updates. Enjoy the music!

Admittedly, I am a hoarder of audio gear, specifically power amps. I recently sold the majority of my collection, mainly because : I would likely not use it; it was no longer gaining monetary value; I was able to emotionally let it go; I was not willing to invest in upkeep / rebuild; I was made an offer I could not refuse; I needed to emotionally detach myself from the piece ( oh, I mentioned that already, lol ). In my 50 years of involvement with high end audio, I do have half a dozen regrets of selling a piece, which is a small % of the amount of gear that has passed through my doors. I have 3 complete systems set up throughout the house ( had 4 until recently ); still have enough gear to set up another system, or 2. I only listen to my main system. Moral of this story....do not become a hoarder. It is a sickness.
