BAT or Pass With My Sophia 2s?


A'goners - I'm considering a system reconfiguration with an upcoming move to a new residence. For those of you with experience with BAT and or Pass gear with Wilson speakers, please comment on your experience. While I'm very familiar with BAT gear, I am curious about the synergy of a Pass/Sophia2 combo. Also, please recommend the amp and pre in each line that you think would be the best match.

Thanks!

What Tvad says is true. If you go with the Pass, you need to be careful to find a preamp (that you like) that has low output impedance.

I'm picky about preamps and I've gone through several in the last couple years.

I have no experience with any of the Bat preamps (although I'd like to try them).

I'll be auditioning a Joule over the next week.
I am very happy with my BAT VK-52SE tube preamp and BAT VK-600SE amp driving a pair of Wilson Sophia 2's. The bass is one tick less tight (but still very good) than when I had a SS preamp, but the midrange and treble is much better. Unfortunately, have not compared Pass gear, so not much help on that point. Good luck!
