BAT POLL...

CALLING ALL BALANCED AUDIO OWNERS! How many of you wish BAT made more powerful solid state amps. I have their vk-1000 monoblocs and i love them. But i feel need for 500-600 plus watts a side minimum into 8 ohms for my nautilus 801's. Dont get me wrong, the amps are no wimps. But i'd like to try a bigger amp. But where do you find a big amp that is warm detailed (not overly so), crystal clear, and authoritative at the same time? Maybe i'll add 2 more monos and forget about it. What do you think?

Kind of guessing as to what your dissatisfaction might be with the 1000's. If it is bass problems, my experience is that the N801's can easily overwhelm even a 5000 cubic foot room. No amp will be able to compensate for too small a room for these speakers.

Another option you might want to try is putting BAT's tube products (150SE is their monoblock version) on the mids/tweeters. Have heard their tube/upper, ss/bass demoed on other speakers and enjoyed the combo immensely.

Pcc, give the BAT factory a call on your question. Both Steve and Victor are very easy and willing to answer questions. I suspect yours has been asked before. Might be a nice additional product for them.

Avnut, if you looking at room treatmentment, why not post your room dimensions, speaker placement, listening position, and current absorptive items. We may have some more ideas for you. I'm wondering if you are still going after bass control or now looking at overall focus and soundstaging. If it's bass control, room dimensions, speaker placement and listening location will have major effects.
