Bass, Build Quality, Very Smooth Sound, Detailed but not over-analytical, above average customer service, great looks! 100 watts per channel - sounds like 200 watts per channel.

UUHH.....none that I can find. Well, it does run very warm, but what high quality amp doesn't? Just give it ventilation.

I had heard some great things about BAT equipment. Well, now I know what all the raves are about! At $3500 list (I paid $1900 for a demo) while not cheap, stands up to anything built on the planet today! I almost bought the latest Plinius at twice the price. The Plinius is wonderful, but I couldn't justify the additional $$$. The bass is tight, deep and authoritative. The midrange is sweet with no grain or hardness. The highs are extended and detailed but not fatiguing! It almost sounds like "tube-like" in some regards. I got rid of a Krell amp to get this baby. The Krell, while quite substantial in its own right, was just too detailed - to the point of fatigue! If you have the opportunity to listen to one of these "gentle giants", do so at your own risk. You won't want to keep what you have. What did someone say....."Once you go BAT, you never go back"! Believe it!
