speakers with BAT


I currently have a pair of Meadowlark Kestrel 2's that I'm driving with a BAT VK60 and VK3(the vk3 is going up for sale when my vk30 arrives this week!) and a Simaudio Moon Orion as the source. They really sound good at moderate levels but strain a bit at higher settings. The bass is also not the best, so I'm thinking of trying something else. I'm looking for opinions or experience with speaker matching with BAT, as I really like their products and don't want to switch components. Wilson Watt 3 Puppy 2's seem to be going fairly cheap, and I'm interested if anyone has ran them with BAT. Any advice would help.

Do you have any experience with the older versions of the WP's? I have heard great things with the newer, but can't find alot of info on older ones. Did the vk60 drive the virgos well?
Thanks for the tip. I don't plan on selling until everything goes through, but I'm curious if you tried different tubes (not that you should have to) to remedy the problem.
Thanks, I really want to pick up the 3.2's and try them out. Half the fun to me is switching gear around in hopes of finding that sound we all seem to be in search of.
You guys have me second guessing my purchase here! I thought the dual mono power supplies, oil caps and better interface would add up to an upgrade, what is so wrong with the vk30? Although the sale of it would free up the funds to get some Wilson's......
I have heard BAT with Avantgarde at Upscale Audio and felt it was one of the better systems I've ever heard, Don't have the scratch to buy them though, or the room.
