Thiel Owners

oblgny-

how are you liking the B.A.T. and Primare combo?
About 10 years ago, I demo'ed the then new Primare I22 integrated amp w/ matching cd player on Vienna Acoustics speakers. Not bad at all.

Fast forward to 2016, I believe the model #'s are up to I32 and CD32
combo. The cd player has received much positive Audio press.
The Primare blu-ray spinner is supposed to be excellent as well.
Sanyo makes the laser assembly/drive transport.

Jafant...

I'm using a Primare R32 phono preamp as well; so far the mating of the B. A. T. with the Primare is a very solid match - particularly with vinyl.  The separation is practically magical. 

The Primare is still barely broken in as I've been busy with work, listening maybe 6 hours a week.  I usually allow the pre about 15 minutes before I listen - seems to show best when the tubes emit a little warmth. 

I'm looking at a BAT VK250 listed here now...trying to figure out how the heck I can get it!

Very nice! I am still considering a B.A.T. integrated amp on my Thiel speakers. There are so many excellent amps in the marketplace, I do not want to make a $ mistake?

I was able to listen to the Bryston integrated (model escapes me) at a dealer showroom in Santa Fe. It was paired with Thiel 2.7's and sounded wonderful. 
I wish I had listened to my ears!

Thank You- michaeljbrown

that really says a lot, as the 2.7, requires more current to drive than my 2.4s.  Should have been model B-135.

Happy Listening!
