BAT at CES?

Keith ,
I did hear the new amps- they are called Rex.
They look almost identical to 75 SEs, but according to Jeoff Poor,
represent a complete redesign, with the corresponding improvement
in SQ.
The fuses in the bottom of the chassis have been replaced by an electronic circuit, new caps, and some other changes.
They were paired with Rex preamp, 10 Se phono and Wilson Sasha
speakers.
I found the sound outstanding.

Maril555 - Did you ask about cost and the ability to upgrade from the 75SE to the REX? Thanks.

thanks maril555---i've heard the same thing. one person with great ears said best of show.

i don't think an upgrade is in the works as it is a completely new circuit.

the amps retail for 15k from what Victor emailed me today.

That's right, I forgot to mention it- $15K, no upgrade path.

Maril555,

BAT has a new tube amp, monoblock - I presume...well, now that I think about it - at $15k it must be a stereo amp! I had no idea...thanks for the report. I have 4 150SE's and no upgrade path - damn!! Anyway, the idea that the 75SE/150SE design/circuit has been stable for a substantial time is actually a source of comfort and confidence for me, i.e. no upgrade of the week as it were.

Best,
Sam
