I heard BAT was sold

+1 Marakanetz. I've owned 9 pieces of BAT equipment over the years, great stuff.

It is Music Direct. I dont think VK is going anywhere. From what I heard he is being freed up to do more R&D. I Use BAT from begining to end in my system. Have had good luck with the products I have used through the years. Hope this is a big win/win for both parties.

Interesting that Music Direct is pursuing vertical integration at this juncture in the audio biz.

I had a VK-D5SE CDP for many years, and it was a fine piece. The gents at BAT are good people and VK has always been a valued contributor here and elsewhere. I hope all the parties did well in the deal, and those who wished to remain were able to do so.

New preamp lines and upgrades to REXPower amp were introduced at CES.

Hi Taters,

Yes. As Tom mentions above, MD is now involved in this manner.

BAT products and their commitment to excellence -- haha...I'm from San Diego -- will continue to reflect Victor Khomenko's influence, so far as I know.

My understanding is a new web site will soon be available.

VIVA BAT!
