BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII

I am considering buying a second tube amp system and am interested to know if anyone has a direct opinion/comparison for the BAT VK-60se amp vs the Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII amp.

The preamp will be the BAT VK-31 with superpack (not se version).

Speakers are Avalanon Eidolons.

I have read great things about both amps - am not able to conduct a trial - it will be one or the other.

Thanks.

If you email Ralph he'll recommend some manufacturers that work well. I know Audiokinesis will be on his list and Duke is a super great guy.

You might also consider Coincident for the M-60's.

As for the MA-1's...I have a pair of Mk III's and absolutely love them. Mine are currently mated with Vandersteen 5A's and it is the best I have heard the 5A's sound. This combo produces all the details and texture that the music has to offer while enveloping you in the music.

I did try the Zero's with the MA-1's in a different setup (Emerald Physics CS2's). While it tightened up the bass, it did indeed cast a haze over the sound that I ultimately couldn't live with.

Go for the Atma-Shere M60's. No brainer....
