Balanced Audio Technology’s chief designer Victor Khomenko and BAT rep Steve Shade unveiled new products in conjunction with MoFi Electronics in 334.
It was the debut of the all-new BAT REX 300 Power Amplifier ($15,000) and VK-85 Preamplifier ($12,500). BAT’s clever tagline “Crossing the Rubicon: The New Romance of Solid State” hints at a bold departure, suggesting their new solid state designs capture the magic usually associated with tubes, in a new form.
The REX 300 Power Amplifier Power features only two gain stages, with zero global feedback in a fully balanced circuit from input to output, is based on N-Channel MOSFET devices, is available as either a stereo amplifier or as a monoblock amplifier, and outputs 200Wpc into 8 ohms, 400Wpc into 4 ohms. Buy a stereo version now and convert it to a mono block later.
The VK-85 Preamplifier uses the same high-current N-Channel MOSFET devices as the REX 300. It features BAT’s fourth-generation SuperPak, dubbed “SuperPak Quattro,” said to dramatically lower the noise floor, while it’s “second generation transformer coupled outputs” are said to result in a “highly open and dynamic sound, free of both the sonic and longevity drawbacks common to capacitor coupled designs.”
The system was filled out by the MoFi Electronics MasterDeck turntable ($5995), MoFi Electronics StudioSilver MC cartridge ($995), a BAT VK-P90 phono stage ($12,995), and a pair of SourcePoint 888 loudspeakers, debuting at this show ($4999/pair). In support were an Isotek EVO3 power conditioner ($9995), a Solidsteel HP-4 Luxury Series Rack $11,900, AudioQuest Robin Hood Zero Speaker cables, Water XLR interconnects, and NRG-10 power cables.
