Upgrade suggestions from BAT VK-300xSE

I agree, your vk300se is pretty darn good. I am not sure the audio research gear you list "significantly" betters what you have. Different yes. Good yes, better???

What's your budget? What cables are you using?

I went from a 300X to the VK-31 preamp and VK-200 amp, then the VK-500 amp, and heard significant improvements across the board with my demanding speakers, especially in the bass. (The power supply in the 300X and 300Xse is limited by the amount of space in the chassis.) If you like the BAT sound, you could check the price of used SE-type preamps and one of the BAT solid-state amps, and compare these prices with those of comparable ARC units.

I had Sophias, now WP7's, and ran them for a while with the BAT VK-500, then VK-600. Great bass and dynamics but no soundstage. My recommendation would be an ARC VT100 Mark III or Conrad-Johnson Premier 140. You will lose a little on the bottom end but gain so much soundstage size and improved tonal balance that you will wonder why you ever tried the BAT solid-state equipment. Or if you ever see some used Essence solid-state amps, they are the best I have ever heard with Wilsons. I am not sure what you are using for a preamp, but a tubed job like CAT or BAT or ARC will also greatly improve the sound.
