BAT VK30SE OR HOVLAND HP-100

Owned Hp100 and Bat 51SE. HP100 highs are more sparkling and slightly more fluid sounding. However, Bat 51se bass is more powerful and presentation is more weighty and dynamic. Bat is balanced and has a lower noise floor. I would go for 31se if I was u.

Hi Paulo,
I had the HP 100 with phono & it took the VAC Ren. Sig Mk. II with phono to replace it.
If you can live w/o balanced or remote & are into vinyl - Go For The Hovland.
It is dead quiet, very seductive looking & works like a charm.
Also has 7 inputs, so you can hook up just about everything you own.
A tad less slam than the BAT, but better mids & top end.
Regards
Richard

Agree that Hovland is particularly strong in it's phono section. If you play vinyl, then definitely the Hovland.

Thanks for all the great responses. I decided to buy a HOVLAND HP-200 and I'm very satisfied with it.
Best regards,
Paulo
