Preamp Showdown: BAT or Sonic Frontiers?


Some reviewers seemed to feel the BAT preamps sound more real than the Sonic Frontiers. Yet, I have read criticisms on BATs having soggy bass and a lower midrange added "chestiness".

I use an older SFL2 with a AR VT-100 into B&W 802 Matrix 3's with outboard North Creek crossovers. Do you think a newer Line 3 or BAT VK 30 would be a noticeable improvement?

Or, how would you characterize your experiences with any of these pieces?

Well after you've made your choice find thatbuddy who loves your speakers then sell for $2K-2500 and try the new 803.Staying with everything you like about your current speakers but new one's blow 'em away for $1K more list.
