What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with


I'm curious what people here are driving their Bat's with The VK60 or the Vk75.

Can these amps drive difficult speakers ?

Other than BAT pre-amps, what pre-amps are used in your system ?

Enlighten me.

Thank you.

Maril,
The Pllunas are fine, adequate. They are great for my room. I have been listening to Frank with Count Basie, Louie, Ella, some Ravel and now Nichlas Payton, the Pls whop ass.
But the BATs had more sparkle, more there without effort. More ease. Not that the PLs are "pushing it" or straining. Perhaps it is merely psychological.
If the BATs weren't so damn hot I would have kept them. For the money the Primas are a steal. Especially used at 2k.
BTW, I have considered the 75SE, I wish I had one.

Nolitan,
I never had a SINGLE VK 60 driving the Avalons. Only the 60 monos and at 120 watts per side, they were glorious.

BTW, if anyone decides to look for a pair, try to get a later serial #, i.e. last numbers in the 400+. The number refers to the boards. You can always call BAT and speak to Viktor. He can answer questions with regards to repairs which may have been done by BAT.
I once purchased, and returned, a 60 which was severely damaged with rust on the boards. Viktor said he's seen this on amps which were used near a coast. The one I refer to was from Hawaii.
Audio blow hard, are you saying you are using BAT VK-75 to drive MBL speakers? MBL are very difficult load, takes monster solid state from what I have heard and read. I am thinking of picking up a pair of MBL 116, but thought I would need a solid state to pair with it.

Back to the original thread. I am using my VK-75SE with Sonus Faber Amati Homage, this is the best amp I have tried with Amati from midrange and up. I have also tried the amp with many other speakers including Sonus Faber Cremona (excellent combo), Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage (also excellent match), Dynaudio Contour 3.3 (no bass), Dynaudio Confidence 5 (even less bass), and some other speakers I can't recall anymore.
