Any B.A.T. amp owners-love or not

I am looking into the purchase of the Balance Audio Technology VK6200 amp. I hav eheard they are a great amp but the service is not as one would expect. Also I have heard the failure rate of these amps is higher than usual.
Any feedback concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

I've had a BAT VK50SE for three years. Totally reliable. I've spoken to Viktor and Geoff at shows, and you could not ask to meet nicer fellows. BAT are one of the stars of US audio, in my opinion. If they make a Super Audio CD player, I'd seriously consider buying one.

I can only concur with the above posts. I no longer own any BAT gear but owned a VK-200 and VK-30. I thought the 200 was a good amp. I also 'thought' I was having trouble with the preamp and sent it in to BAT and the service was great. (The issue I was having was not the preamp.)

I've had a VK200 now for a year and still love it. I also owned a VK3i and when I decided to sell it to someone across the Pacific, Victor Khomenko had it converted to 220V and sent it off to the buyer for me. The people at BAT were very accommodating and easy to work with. Oh and yes, BAT amps run very hot. It makes summer listening a challenge.

I have always been interested to try B.A.T amps. After reading this thread, I am even a lot more likely to do so!
