bat or c-j

The newer bat gear is a little more nuetral sounding than in the past. If this is what you're looking for, then yes. Also, the BAT is balanced where the CJ is not. The BAT will perform slightly better usually with balanced interconnects.

In the end...it's best to try them. Both are good, what you like depends on your ears and the rest of the setup and cables.

good luck

Since you have narrowed it down this far, the best thing for you to do is to try to audition them and decide for yourself.

CJ 16 series 2 is a sleeper. Listen to it!
