Any excellent results with class D amp and BAT pre

I am using Focus Audio 788 speakers.

Front end is a Northstar Extremo DAC, Empirical Offramp, MAC computer.

My goal is a deeper soundstage and better dynamics, while maintaining correctness of tone.

Other mono amps would be considered.

I've been using Dolan ML1 Class D monoblocks with a BAT VK-51SE and the synergy is seamless.These Dolans are the best Class D amps I've ever experienced,superior to the NuForce 9.0SEV2's,Wyred4Sound and the Spectron 3 series.Flip me an e-mail if you're looking for more particulars. Mark

Ribr,

I am using a BAT VK 31SE with a pair of NuForce 9 SE V2's
with great results. Very dependent on power cord quality and isolation from vibration. It can definitely make or break the sound.

I am using a BAT 3ixSE pre with a pair of Rowland 201's. I really like the sound through my Spendor speakers. The bass is probably better through a full range speaker, though. Mine roll off about 45 Hz. I hear a lot of things I really like through the spendors. If you can be satisfied with the highs of a class D amp, I think you would enjoy it. The highs are a little unatural but that is true with any of the class D amps, as far as I know. You need to try it and see for yourself if you like it or not.
