Is there life after a KXR? Help
Hello Mike,Look into a BAT VK-52se. If your funds in the future allow you can have it upgraded to the REX without having to sell. Charles himself has made very positive comments on the sound of BAT based systems. Good luck whatever you decide.best... 
BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions?
Hi John,Thanks John, you're right. I didn't read Saki70's post thoroughly. Again, my guess would be one of all marketing decisions. I think BAT wanted the 300x to be able to drive a large majority of speakers available today. For their target mark... 
BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions?
Hello,I would imagine they made an integrated because BAT felt there was/is a market for it. If I'm not mistaken I think it's one of BAT's most (if not the most) successful selling components. Best,Tom

Theta/Spectra/Avalon - system revamp advice needed
Hello Gary,I know you didn't mention it, but have you thought about going up a step with your speakers? I went from the Radian H.C. to the Eidolon and then to the Eidolon Diamond.IMO each step was a significant improvement. If you could swing a us... 
"Breathing" of the air
My perception ... air on its own we cannot hear, but can be heard once a sound excites air in a space and it reveals the characteristics of the acoustic environment that the sound was made in. I believe this to be the sound of air. I also think no...

amp for low volume listener w/ wilson audio sophia
Hello Meocha,I think Rapogee has a point. In general one of Wilson's main strong points have been being able to play at louder volumes without strain. Comparatively they don't really start to sing until you play them at a louder volume. Then they ...
