BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp?


I was looking to get back into tubes and was considering the BAT VK-60 since they are under $2K. What other tube amps with around the same wpc and current in this price range do you recommend?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

Jfrech did you purchase the VK-60 LITE version, they're weight is 91 lbs. minus any packaging materials!

Bigkids, Jfrech is right the VK is warmer, richer, very vibrant mids w/ highes and lows a little softer, & a great place to start w/o loosing your butt if you don't care for the tube sound. You can however bridge them to 120wpc after you buy a second unit & still get 2 vk-60's for less then the price of ONE VK-75SE!

You could also check out a Manley STINGRAY which is 50wpc, selling around 1300-1400. The build quality is not BAT however, also not as warm.

Good luck!
