Speakers for BAT equipment


I have a BAT VK-3i pre, VK-200 power, Meridian 508.20 cdp, transparent interconnects and spk cables. I listen to anything except rap and country. I was considering Paragon Regents for a long time until I read some reviews on Newform Research. I'm also thinking about Thiel 3.6 and Merlin VSM. Does anyone have recommendations for the best combination? Price range is around $2500, used. Thanks in advance.

I had the Bat 3 and the VK200 with cardas cable, Wadia cd and Audio Physic virgos. Great combo. Since then, I now have bat vk50se and vk60 and transparent cable, still awesome. With your music choices, give the virgos a try...
Thanks for all your help. My demo music piece is Symphony No. 7 by Beethoven. Paragon Regents sounded unbelievable playing it, but fell flat with more dynamic pieces such as Metallica or Aerosmith. Can Thiel 2.2 or Audio Physic Virgos pull this off?
Well, believe it or not, I'm operating a pair of Martin Logan CLS IIz's with nothing more than a VK200 mated to a VK40 preamp. The output of the VK200 is 200 watts into a 4 ohm load, so don't be surprised if it drives most 4 ohm loads with ease. I've operated this same system with a VK500 amplifier, and although the VK500 provides greater headroom, it was no more dynamic sounding than the VK200. Toss a Genesis 900 sub into the mix and VOILA, you're done!

Enjoy,

I agree with Coltranel. I just bought the bat200 for my aerius i, does sound great.
By the way when I auditioned the vk200 w/my aerius i, I also borrowed the 3i from the dealer. What a combo, really sweet.
