Does the Alpha series retained the midrange of the original ? I used to own the original and i'm still kicking myself for not keeping it. This hobby is crazy to say the least.

What's the difference between the alpha version and the other version ? Also, do their power amps sound like their integrated amps ? 
BAT VK-200 vs VK-220 amp
Victor, thanks a lot for your input. This is something that I have been thinking about for quite some time now. I really like your work and appreciate your opinion. 
BAT VK-200 vs VK-220 amp
How about their sound. I used to own a VK 200 and that amp had the best timbre of any amp I've ever own including tubes. Got rid of mine after a fit. It started blowing fuses pretty regularly if I didn't turn it on first and off last.

What are you using with the 700c ? I'm going to be using an Eastern Electric Minimax. I'm wondering if this little gem is up to the job.
