BAT VK-300x for Von Schweikert VR4-JRs?

Wondering if this is a good match, or if others have experience with BAT products driving VSA speakers. I'm scaling my system down and of course I have no local BAT dealer (only 4-5 of them in Canada). I heard the 4JRs with BAT equipment at the Montreal show and was impressed. Just seeking some more opinions on the matter. Thanks.

I was also quite impressed with the sound from the BAT and Von S combination at the Montreal show. I went late on Sunday afternoon and the room was empty so had a good chance to listen.

Chucki,I agree with you, I was surprise also, when
the guy brought the BAT500 with BAK PAK in my house,
I end up buying it.The tonality is really good, its
so natural.Also my Speltz cable is on the way, they
are that good.

Next question: How hot (or not) does it run?

Not very hot. I have mine enclosed on top, but open in the back (see my system photo). I've never had a problem with system heat. My old 300 SEI would provide some fairly serious heat, that I would not have been comfortable enclosing.

How is the bass on the BAT? I'm coming from solid state though I did have a VK-3i for a bit with a Bryston 4BBST then a Krell KAV2250 and thought it was a good unit...a little rolled off in the treble, but good bass and midrange.
