Well Semply. Here's my 2 cents and 2 yrs of auditioning and driving my wife crazy w/amps in and out of the house; for what its worth. I own Aerius i, owned a B&K amp, then bryston 3bst and have now happily settled and extremely pleased w/the BAT VK200. Gives ML great control of base, detail. Mids are there as well as sweet highs. Plenty of power in this underated 100watt amp. Paino sounds unbelieveable, base from ML's that I never new existed are there and musical. In my quest for the perfect amp I auditioned AR, classe, meridan, signature, macintose(okay I didn't get an A in spelling, but I can hear well), audiomat, krell cav setup amp/pre(really sucked), rotel(very good for the price), plinius(not impressed, preferred my bryston). Would have liked to audition the w-5, pass, and vtl. But one more amp auditioned in the house the wife would have sent me back for a refund. But the bat did it for me. Worth an audition, especially at $1800 for a demo. Didn't mean to insult anyone who uses any of the above amps, but this is my opinion. To me the bat separates the instruments very well, their clear. I found the bat to play all music very well rock, jazz, blues, even the wifes rap/dance crap. But its all about what you like. Good luck.
