S.J., what speakers are you running ? Is it in an open component rack, as the amp runs warm ? When cleaning, do you need to move it ? In sq, what is it that you like, as most amplifiers have a " personality " ( another recent thread here). The 2 amps George has mentioned are getting a lot of attention, although are quite different from each other, and from the BAT. I am not trying to be the devils advocate, just would like to know as to further assist. Enjoy ! MrD.
Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality.
Need recommendations for a smaller and lighter amp to replace a BAT VK 200 amp which is very good . The BAT is 100 RMS, and weighs close to 70 lbs, It has become unmanageable to move or clean in a component rack. New amp must be at least equivalent or better in sound quality.
For the record, the pre-amp is a Conrad Johnson PV-14L SE
Thank you,
S.J.
