Audio Research VS110 vs Bat KV-60


I like both of these amps I have heard them both but why are the arc s about $800 more on the used market can anyone tell me as I am in the middle of deciding between the two thanks.

can't tell you about either amps, but I have owned ARC VT-100 Mk 1/2/3 (yes, all 3 of them), SF Power 2/2SE/3, and BAT 150/75SE. The amp that is staying with me is 75SE, beating out VT-100 III by a mile and all of us were equally surprised given the high reputation of ARC.
Hello Paul,

I would tend to agree with John on the reason for the ARC costing more then the BAT. Years ago I compared a VT200 to the BAT VK-60 mono-blocks, and I got to tell you IMO the BAT embarrassed the ARC. Hope you find what works for you.

Enjoy,
Tom
I like the bat better for the money than the arc I will probably end up with a bat thanks.
I like the BAT better. and also agree to john, i moved up from VK-60 to VK-75. much better control.
