    My brother bought RT1's (Reeltrouble) Ted's VK60's about 12-15 years ago. They were pretty formidable and cool as hell. He had a couple broken solder issues over the years and Victor at BAT took care of it for him. Told him were to look, how to tell and then guided him to re-solder the areas. Rather than paying to have them shipped and paying to have Victor work on them.

    Back then they were a very customer service oriented company. I'd assume as well today. A friend of ours bought them from my bother about 8 years ago. Still going strong.

    These are great amps and use Russian power tubes from MIG fighter jets.

    Also could cause some issues if they are man handled.

    Why are you looking to trade/sell these? From my moderate experience with BAT, they sound phenomenal and take care of their customers. $4300.00 is a great deal those mono amps with the extra tubes. What isn’t pleasing about them?

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Did you get these from "The Music Room"? These might be the ones I had made a offer on and was waiting for a trade in value on my trade in.
    I ended up getting a Krell 3250 and like it very much. But I really wanted them BATs.

    They are just out of the question now.
