bat vk3ix OR bat vk32se PAIRING bat vk55 So Stereophile recommends: - VK3ix with Vk55 - makes sense, they are both in the same class. To pair VK32SE with Vk55 seems like getting a mismatch? much better PRE for a entry . . .	16
BAT VK-D5 SE CD player the single end input is disappinting ... the balanced input is fantastic ... btw they r 6db apart	15

QUAD ESL 2905 / 2805 FWIW, have decided to drop the idea of the QUAD ESLs ... and go the way of the Advantgrade Duos ...... maybe this will even render my bat vk55 w more than sufficient power	10
02 x bat vk55 monoblocks an overkill for Harbeth? I could hv a vk75 on loan but not the monoblocks hence can't really tell how they would sound. By itself, I realize tat vk75 & vk55 are really quite different sonically. Cannot . . .	7

BAT VK-D5 SE versus Cambridge 840C Azur i think u have to 'listen' the bat vk-d5SE to conclude! but pls only run it in balanced XLR and be pleasantly suprised! i did a ABC comparision and it beats NAIM CDX2, MARANTZ 11. . .	4
