Balanced amp for Bat vk5i...
oh it gets hot and the BAT runs warm so together they make the heat of a fireplace without the ambiance of flickering flames. dont know about longevity but if it burns out ill get another one.

i use the BAT VK51SE with the Plinius 250mk4 and sonus faber extremas. enjoy the music this combo makes very much. Ive had the plinius for 3 years now -no problems and i run in class A frequently. 
Only three manufacturers?
they mentioned Rogue in the march issue. They used the Magnum 99 pre and M-150 monos

i agree theo- just thought i would see what kind of response that article would bring out 
BAT 31SE vs. 51SE
i upgraded my 50 se recently to 51 and couldnt believe the difference right out of the box. the slight veil seemed to have been lifted. more punch, more detailed highs. wonder if it will get even better with more listening time. but even if it doe... 
preamp to go with Plinius 250mk4 and SF Extremas
Tpsonic- thanks for the suggestion and i wont need phono. i have a rotel outboard unit for that. eldo1968

bmwhaus- well since they are a warm speaker should i concentrate on a ss amp. and would the plinius 250 suggested by gts87 be good. thanks 
SF Extremas
doug99- i saw it on audioasylum(SET asylum)regarding a so called 211 amp. guy claims his friend drives the extremas with 27w/channel do to A2 class driving 
SF Extremas
its hard to believe extremas are so inefficient. does anybody know the sensitivity db.? and why do some people claim they can power them with 30watt set amps? thanks gary 
SF Extremas
