Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1?

I know MP-1 well in my own system into modded BAT VK75SE and Merlins, and at CES heard BAT Rex preamp into BAT Rex monoblocks and Wilson Shashas. A minor case of penis envy.

Dgarretson,
Could you share your impressions of MP-1 in your system?

Maril555, my MP-1 is a modded MkII that replaced a BAT VK5i and VKP10. The main thing about Atma is the sense of wide open bandwidth and agility, as compared to the mellower & prettier sound of BAT. However at CES BAT REX components were fast on their feet, effortless, yet a bit fuller in embodiment than I hear at home. Of several exhibits this was the only one that had convincing synergy with Shashas. In other contexts at THE Show I heard MP-1 Mk III sound remarkable with Classic Audio Reproduction field coils and VPMS. It's a close horse race.

I heard MP-1 in the same room at THE Show with CAR speakers, and liked the room very much.

i agree with dgarretson that mp-1 are moreso than most any at being wide open, add they are great at chameleon. I've had loads of fun rolling tubes and finding what I like for certain disks to help "flesh out" or even "thin out" the musical presentation, at my discretion. great unit.
