BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII

I am considering buying a second tube amp system and am interested to know if anyone has a direct opinion/comparison for the BAT VK-60se amp vs the Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII amp.

The preamp will be the BAT VK-31 with superpack (not se version).

Speakers are Avalanon Eidolons.

I have read great things about both amps - am not able to conduct a trial - it will be one or the other.

Thanks.

I have Atma-sphere M60MKIIIs driving Merlin VSMs. I'm using an Atma-sphere MP3 pre-amp. I tried a BAT VK-3I for approx. two weeks and did not like the sound..it was too dry as far as the line stage was concerned. Phono stage was awesome but that was with my AR turntable. I would not recommend a BAT pre-amp with the M60s.
As far as speaker recommendations I second the Merlin VSMs and the Coincident Technologies speakers. And definitely no zero autoformers.
