BAT or Primaluna

Hi All, I am thinking about getting an entry level autobiasing amp, a BAT VK-55 or a Primaluna. I know that there are many complicating factors such as room and associated equipment, but could anyone help out with which of these might be the better choice? I am hoping to get nonfatiguing highs and natural, "in the room" vocals without flabby bass. Thanks.

I own Primaluna and Bat equipment. Bat is the way to go. The Prima is built like a tank and is a very nice pre amp.
I have a way to go before I can buy a Bat pre.

The Prima Luna, at a FRACTION of the BAT cost, equals it in build quality.

The PL-2 is truly SUPERB, I have owned it for the past 2 years.

I agree ... the PL-2 is Much prefered to the PL-1.

The Prima Luna uses Point to point wiring Thoroughout the Power Supply and the audio signal section ( Only the auto bias section is on a PCB.

The PL-2 sounds Far more detailed and less Tube like than the BAT....

I would not think twice ... PL-2
