Help with Vintage B&K Power/Pre Amps

Hi Tobb... thanks for the reply... just to clarify, my question was related to my B&K components... the B&W speakers were used to swap out my speakers to verify my sound issues weren't related to the speakers... swapped the L/R RCA Interconnects on the preamp and my sound issue in fact moved from the right speaker to the left... so, it appears I have an issue with my B&K PRO10MC preamp... not sure if it's worth sending in for service or to just look for another preamp... maybe a Classe CP50 or stepping into the entry level tube preamp realm...

I would be surprised if it was not more affordable to have the B&K serviced.
However before I went to the Classe I would check out Coda's new 7X.
They are using very high end double gated FETs and with their
high impedance produce a very tube like sound.

B&K is defunct. Try here:

I recently attempted to contact B&K/ATI via telephone and email regarding an older model pre pro I was experiencing problems with.

They never bothered to return my phone calls or email.

The Pro 10MC was one of B&K's best products that they produced, it is a very listenable product, most likely worth a repair if not too costly. However, it is valued in the neighborhood of $250 right now. The Classe 50, is clearly a better product, but probably worth somewhere around $500 to $800. Neither of these products are considered bright. Tobb has recommended a terrific product, but it is new, you won't find a used one for quite some time and it runs around $6500.
At under $1000, I like the Muse 3 Signature or maybe a Audio Research LS9, both are single ended and balanced, both sound near dead neutral and both have remote.
You could could try a cables or a little less tow in on your speakers or both, that would effect high end and listener fatigue.... Good Luck, Tim
