CAT or BAT????


I am upgrading my preamp to either the CAT Ultimate SL-1 or the BAT VK50SE. Building new system, and already have: Electrocompaniet EMC-1 mk2, EAD powermaster 2000, (also need new speakers, looking at silverline and soliloquy for the $). My listening room is 18x19.5, and my taste in music is wide open. I want the best midrange "partner" for the EMC, and very dynamic. Suggestions? Thanks! Dave

Just wanted to weigh in on the speakers. I have a pair of silverline sonata II and I am very happy with the warmth and detail. They're a very efficient speaker with a Very stable load so they're great for tube amps. As to the pre-amps, I've heard nothing but praise for the CAT.
Try the BAT 51SE or the 31SE first. Or my fav the First Sound Presence preamp.
