nobody talks about BAT anymore?

BAT is run by great people but Victor designs from his own theoretical ideals and comfort zone to a fault. I remember visiting their production facility and noticing the large driver mounted on a cardboard baffle which they used for bench checks...yup, pretty...unique? I've owned alot of BAT gear but always wound up loving ARC stuff more! BAT gear always seemed to have some peculiar electrical quirks as well..very annoying at times!

There was a review from CES 2009 of BAT gear with Wilson WP8's. Here's the link:

You have to scroll down a ways to find it.

Well said Viridian, maybe people should calm down. It was rather obvious your reply was meant in a light-hearted way. Thank God we have Sean34 to judge all posts.

I heard their amps in combination with Hansen speakers at a grand opening in Boca back in November. The sound was terrific.

looks like many starts talking about BAT now! Am seriously thinking of pairing up the vk 32 with vk 55 with vandersteen 2ce as my combi now (vk 3xi/vk55) seems does not play complicated orchestra well...

do not like the SE version though ... despite many will think its a waste as BAT is kown for their super tubes.
