| BAT VK-75 vs. ARC VT100 MkIII? Hello S2k, I would go with the BAT 75. When you have the extra $ have BAT upgrade it to the 75se. I just bought a pair of 150se's to drive my Eidolons and I am floored. What a magical combination! Good luck, Tom | |
| Electrostatic Break-in Hello Rgodin, As a previous CLS2Z owner I thought I respond with a tip to speed up the process for you. Play source material with lots of low end bass at loud volumes. This will strech the mylar faster and speed up the break-in process. Good luck,... | |
| Best Tube Amp under 5K Hello Herb, Might I suggest a used pair of BAT vk60 mono amps. Good luck in your search and thanks for keeping jazz alive! Regards, Tom | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon Hello Snook, The bass is improved big time with break-in. You would never think it was the same speaker. Shubertmaniac, you are very fortunate to have both high quality tube and s/s electronics for your system. I drive my Eidolons with BAT mono VK... | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon Hello Shubertmaniac, I think we are both trying to describe the same qualities that planers/stats possess but using different words to describe them. I do feel however that soundstage-transparency, high resolution all are interelated. I'm not very... | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon Hi Shubertmaniac, I would like to make some comments about your post. To my ear the Eidolon is remarkably transparent. Before owning both the Radian HC and Eidolons, I had ML CLS2z and the Quad USA 63. Some would argue that within its range the CL... | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon Hello Jet, I owned the Radian HC and upgraded to the Eidolon almost a year ago. The Eidolon to my ears is by far the better speaker. Both bass extension and speed in the bottom octaves is quite improved over the Radian. As good as the Radian are a... | |
| Tired of SS amp. Hi Ryan, I'm glad you posted a message for Steve. I was just about to suggest to him that he connect with you. Hope you're enjoying the new Bat 150se amps in your system. I'm looking forward to the day I get them hooked up with the Eidolons! Take ... | |
| BAT VK5 Tube Preamp - Help... Hi Daniel, I'm surprised that Coltrane didn't think going from a VK5 to a VK5i was a big improvement. I thought it was a substantial upgrade. I don't know if BAT still offers an upgrade from the 5 to the 5i but it might be wise to try to find out ... | |
| AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2? Hi Suchtan, Why not have your 4 VK60s upgraded to the "SE" version? I'm with you on sticking with BAT! For years I owned many ARC products. Then BAT came along and every since then when I've compared ARC to BAT both amps and pre-amps BAT has embar... | |
| Eidolon "N" Hi Kelly, I was wondering if you knew anymore more about the "N' designation besides what information was given on the Avalon interact site. Thanks, Tom | |
| HALCRO Amplifiers Hi Gleeds, What dealer in NJ did you hear them at? Thanks in advance. Tom | |
| Krell KCT vs other top preamps ? Roger, Please listen to the BAT VK50se. You'll be doing yourself a BIG favor. All the best, Tom | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Hello Cat, The point I think that is being misunderstood here is that the bat vk60se is not just an upgrade "it's a totally new product". I feel that bat is going out of their way for its previous loyal vk60 owners by offering the vk60se. Otherwis... | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Hi Catman, I think you are way off the mark on your comments on BAT and the fine people who work there. I think it's a tribute to BAT that since 1995 they made many improvement upgrades to the VK60 over the years and the retail price for a VK60 st... |
