    WOW...beautiful.

    Congrats man. BTW...I'm still so glad you got to keep the Kef's. I didn't want to see you let them go at that price.

    That new amp is a monster, and you have put together a very nice system my friend.

    Thanx Hoch! Its funny you mention the Kef's. I haven't just abandoned them,and yesterday I told my son I would like to bring them downstairs and listen to them on the rig down there! I love those speakers,just not quite as much as the ML's.:cheesygrin:

    So far,in about 2 hrs of listening,I am VERY pleased! The soundstage has increased,and I think its a little smoother than the B&K. The highs are detailed,yet smooth,hard to explain. Listening decibles are the same,yet it doesnt seem as loud,just smooth! I think its how the pro's say the music just flows out of the speakers. And the power,oh my lord the power! Loud and clear,music just pours out,and sounds wonderful! I need some more seat time,run through my usual test songs. So far,so good!:cool:

    Nice amp man. So I have to ask, how has it been going to a dedicated 2-channel over just a AVR with KEF speakers? :razz:

    Well it has been an enjoyable little trip. My KEF's set-up had the Onk as a pre,and the B&K Ref 2220 for an amp. The difference between the 2 set-ups are substantial!
    This BAT VK500/BATPACK,is something that needs to be heard to apprieciate! Its so good in every aspect,that it has me smiling when I listen to music,,,all the time! The ML are the best speaker I have ever heard,and I've heard a few! Mated to the BAT,its sublime!
