    Bought this on an impulse. My 500 was giving me grief, several times. It really is the best amp I've ever heard! Now the 500,is back, working perfectly, and I just don't feel the 600 is worth the $6000 upgrade! Is it worth $6000? I think so! That's my story, and i'm stickin to it! (insert smiley face here)

    Sounds like it's similar to the difference between the VK-3i and VK-31 pre-amps I was/am auditioning. The VK-31 is over double the price, but man I love the transparency/detail it brings. Is it required? Probably not. But, once I heard the VK-31 I had to have it. I think you may regret selling this after you can no longer listen to it. IMO, I would keep it sir. Think of it this way...... Do you enjoy your listening experience more when listening to the VK-600SE vurses the VK-500? If your answer is yes, I would let that answer determine if you should keep the VK-600SE. I am keeping the VK-31 and am going to list my VK-3i soon. I would suggest you keep the VK-600SE and sell the VK-500. Do you not get as much money? Absolutely. Do you enjoy listening to music more (by keeping the VK-600SE)? If you answer absloutely. That's it.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    The BAT's are awesome amps. If I didn't already have my end-game amps in place, I would be all over this like PFB on a ladyboi wearing skinny jeans while eating a jelly donut.

    You know, Glenn...you could sell me that 5503 to recoup some of the cost if that helps you any... ;-)

    A seriously good amp folks. This will blow your skirt up and every neighbors in a 5 mile radius. Nice price to boot, and it's practically brand new too.

    Bob, the price might be over the heads of most here, Audiogon might offer some more opportunities.
