BAT VK 500?
My speakers are Martin logan aerius i. I had a bryton 3bst, I sold it after lissening to the bat vk200. I also auditioned the plinius, ar, mccormack, meridan, audiomat, signature and many others. I completely crushed all of the above in every area... 
Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ?
I've listened to the Spendor(small ones-retail about $800) I was impressed. They were hooked to a passion tube amp and the music was very pleasing. Would not go loud but sure sounded nice. Best mini monitor I ever heard. 
ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv
I've listened to the Maggie and yes they sound nice, but I personnally found more life with the Martin's. As far as dynamics goes, try adding the Bat 3i pre and the vk200 amp. Martins are picky with equipement and after endless auditioning I found... 
Best and Worst customer service?
Well I must comment on the recent service I got on Martin Logans. My previous post did voice my negative opinion on how I was treated by ML. Recently I called the company and must say I was treated very well and the customer service rep was except... 
McIntosh MX132 W/ ML Aeris I

Best Find Ever???
$3,500 bat vk200, bought new for 1,800. 
Lexicon mc-1 or Proceed avp??
I agree the proceed is better for 2 ch, but the mc-1 is the ht winner. I have the dc-1, but looking to buy a bat vk30 for the 2 ch mode. best of both worlds. 
Awsome Remote??
how are they different from you???? Do they put their pants on backwards?? Just wondering. 
Adcom?
I've listed to the rotel stuff, pretty nice entry level equip. Sound was good IMO. 
BAT VK-5i or VK30 ??
I myself have in home auditioned the 3i and the 50se. I preferred the 3i. I felt base control was outstanding with the 3i and the mid range was just there prefectly. Amp used was my vk200. I myself am looking to get a new pre amp. I was thinking o... 
BAT VK30SE, VK50se or SF Line 3se
I have not listed to the Bat vk30se, but I have listened to the bat vk50se and the bat vk3i with the bat vk200 ss, which I now own. Hands down the vk3i sounded beautiful with the vk200, I did not care for the vk50se with the vk200. But I could be ... 
How much does your system retail for?
This thread just made me pull all the receipts to figure how addicted to this hobby I have become. Seen some negative threads, but like any other hobby we spend the $$$ to strive for satisfaction, I say to each their own. Its only money and we can...
