You already own one BAT VK 500, sooo...if you were to pick up another used VK 500 for around 2500.-3000. you could send both of them back to BAT and have them upgraded to a pair of VK 1000 Monos (which have the BATPAK as standard). For a 3000.-3500. investment you would have a pair of amps that would be hard to beat...and harder still to justify another 3-4k on the Lamms. Look at your current synergy. BAT pre-amps love their counterparts!
Amp upgrade over BAT VK-500??
Hello All, Now I've gone and done it. I've upgraded to a point that I'm not sure where I should go next. Here's my system: Sonic Frontiers T3/P3, BAT VK-50SE, BAT VK-500, Dynaudio Confidence 5s with Nordost Quattro Fil ICs and Cardas Golden Cross Speaker Cables. I love the sound, but I suspect that the VK-500 is now the weak link in the system. Are there any amps in the $5k range (used) that I should be looking at or should I just throw in the towel now? I have a large room and the C5s require a lot of juice. Thanks.
