BAT VK52SE or REX vs VK51SE

jfrech, I am considering the same options. My dealer is getting the VK52se in stock soon and he is going to let me bring it home for a demo. I will definitely report back.

I heard the REX at our local dealer. First impression, the midrange is better and the the music is very open and transperant compared to the VK51SE. The pace and rhythm seems to be right on. I just enjoyed the music.

I've heard a report that the Rex is absolutely stunning, if you can afford it.
I'm still waiting on a VK-32SE to demo. It was ordered almost two months ago!

Did you see the Postive Feedback review on the VK-52SE? Conmpares it directly to the 51SE...

No, and I can't find it on the web. Do you have a link?

I did get a chance to demo the VK-32SE in my home system. I would say it was different from the 31/51SE series that I have owned, but not better, IMHO. It was lusher and sweeter, but not as dynamic or powerful. Which one would prefer would depend on their system/tastes.
I also had the opportunity to hear a VK-52SE at a dealer, and felt the same way. Just my $0.02.
FWIW, I still haven't heard the REX yet though.

Cheers,
