BAT SS power amps?


I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the VK-250 or 600 and how they compare to the other notable big amps such as Levinson, Pass, McIntosh, ARC etc etc. I have a BAT VK-31SE tube and am looking to get a new power amp within the next few months. Your comments are appreciated

The BAT is nice, a little warm, like a Levinson but the Levinson has more bass slam, (testicular fortitude).

The Krell is the winner here but you've already had analytical sound so -----

BAT is nice, 600 is even nicer.

Pass is between the Krell and Levinson as far as balance but in a different league if detail and shadings are you forte.

McCormack os warmer and a nice amp at a great price used, if you can find one. Edge/Grypon are also nice and linear sounding.
