i have never heard anyone complain of soggy bass with BAT stuff. i suspect that reviewer's system had other issues that caused the soggy bass problem. as far as the "chestiness" goes, i have heard that complaint before but i have never noticed the problem in my vk-30 (which is for sale, btw). BAT stuff tends to be pretty neutral.
the vk-30 is a great piece imho. i am only selling it to upgrade to another BAT preamp. i can't comment on the sonic frontiers preamps except to say that the future of that company is questionable, based on what some people in the industry have told me.
