Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not


I am looking into the purchase of the Balance Audio Technology VK6200 amp. I hav eheard they are a great amp but the service is not as one would expect. Also I have heard the failure rate of these amps is higher than usual.
Any feedback concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

Reliability? I don't believe you! At least from my experience...

I've owned a VK200, VK 60, VK75SE, and VK50SE updated now to a VK51SE and a VKp5, then a VKP10 which I updated to a P10SE (still have).

Never had a issue other than a tube and that wasn't BAT's fault. Like blaming GM for a flat tire. I've had several questions about use, and they always answer their phones and respond to email. I've bought all mine new, but when I had a question, they never asked if it was under waranty or used.

I've even sent stuff in, thinking it was broke, and it turned out to be a tube. They replaced it, shipped in back in 3 days, and called. Can't get faster than that.

If they are having issues, they will fix them. I can't comment on the VK6200, but BAT as a company is beyond 1st class. They stand behind there products. Customer always comes first.

Good luck. In fact, before you buy it, I'd call BAT and ask them. As far a sound...I LOVE IT.
