Cary 200.2/500mb vs. BAT 500 w/BAT-PAK


Welcome comments from anyone who can tell me similarities and differences between these amplifiers. Would be used to drive some 4 ohm current hungry speakers, using a Capri preamp, VSE Level 6 Sony 5400, Kubala-Sosna IC's. Thanks.

I should also add that this would replace a Rowland Model 5. I had posted a thread a few days ago asking about a Rowland Model 8 or possibly a pr. of 6's. As they don't come up for sale very often, I'm looking into the above as "substitutes" for now.

I'm still looking for the sweetness in the mids and highs the the M-5 has but am looking for better low frequency definition. The M-5 actually has good macrodynamics but is not quite as good on microdynamics. Don't want any lean or thin sounding gear.
