What is the 'BAT sound'?

I keep reading things like 'if you like the BAT sound' - especially with regard to preamps.

Can someone shed some light on this? How do they compare with, say, VTL or ARC?

If so, it's usually associated with a robust, deeply engaging midrange. Still great highs and lows, but this robust midrange is a character rarely heard in other brands. I used to own a BAT pre and amps. My opinion, in this particular area, they are state of the art. Hope this helps...it's worth a listen, great stuff !

The newer ARC's have a less tubey sound but have not heard any. A buddy of mine has a LS16MKII which I want to hear soon but he says its not "that" tubey. I had an older LS7 in my system a few years ago and didn't care for it at all. Have not heard the VTL but almost bought.
