BAT vs. Mcintosh?

I currently own a VK-60 amp that I absolutely love but have often been intrigued by Mcintosh products. I will be able to spend about two thousand dollars on my next upgrade & have always considered purchasing another VK-60 but don't really have the room to run two of these massive amps based on the size of my listening area. Would I be better off trying a Mcintosh product, maybe a MA6500 or one of their other amps? I realize my VR4 jr's could use some more power which is why I'm considering the switch to a big Mcintosh solid state. I listen to clasic rock exclusively.

For rock music the best amp I heard was a Pass X series...very detailed and a forward, powerfull presentation....I bought the BAT VK500 because I liked it's open, detailed, not in your face presentation.It seemed to go well with all kinds of music...just a matter of taste.

Heh Jim...we have very similiar systems except I have the VSA db99.....we even have retubed our pre's the same way! I may try SET sound since I don't need the massive power of the VK500 anymore....your VSA 4Jr's do need power however and the 500 should be a terrific match.
