I had the TAD REF1 MK.2 several years ago before replacing it with magico m6s.
i ran 4x LAMM m2.2 amps with , and while enjoyed the overall sound immensely for a good 4 years, i always felt that the lamm didn't have enough oomph to really drive those speakers.
Tried the gryphon antilleon with MY m6 and thought it darkened the sound.the presentation was quite veiled and unengaging.
opted for the esoteric M1X instead- open ,life like ,detailed and musical.
Good morning George,
yes, once a Georgian , well, you know, you'll always be one, at least in spirit......
really glad to hear about the reliability and trouble-free experience you are having with the BAT gear.
and yes, i recall from 10+ years ago, how warm my dedicated room had gotten with...
The few times I heard the Vitus gear, I kept shaking my head with disappointment……
you can’t go wrong with any of the BAT preamps. Had the original Rex years ago, and still regretting selling it.
George,
a fellow Georgian here….. congratulations on your BAT additions…. Had the original Rex preamp and a pair of 6220 monos years back. Loved the warmth(pun), and the musical textured they exuded.
BAT, is definitely an underrated company, imho, on so many levels.
what are you findings now...
