Are BAT amps kind to less-than-stellar recordings?
skystudiosThe B.A.T. VK-3000se is on my demo list as well. I concur with czarivey in that you may want to consider an integrated amp with tone controls. The Yamaha fits the bill.  Keep us posted on which way you go.Happy Listening! 
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
russellrcncom-Ayre and Bryston are sonic matches with ARC pre-amps. I have heard these combos over the years in different systems, different dealers & retailers to excellent effect.   Happy Listening!

I hear ya! elizabethI fell in love with Jazz about 15 years ago.  Never looked back.I still enjoy Pop, Rock and came from the Hard Rock, Metal camp as well.Quite a few parallels between Jazz and Metal, if you listen close enough. 
Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording?
n80-my reference disc is Jamie Cullum "Twentysomething" CD or SACD (2004).  This disc flies way under the radar of most.Miles Davis- "Kind of Blue" my favorite listen.  Excellent suggestions above.  Happy Listening!
