Why does BAT make both solid-state and vacuum tube electronics?
Just as there can’t be one best wine for all meals, there isn’t one best amplifier or preamplifier for all music systems and tastes. We believe that properly designed vacuum tube and solid-state electronics can and should coexist and complement each other, very much like red and white wines complement fine cuisine and coexist in the real world. BAT’s mission is to give our customers choices that fit their lifestyles, budgets, and system needs. Our goal is to make a contribution to the art in any product undertaking. BAT’s vacuum-tube and solid-state lines have been recognized for such distinctive contributions as automatic biasing (VK-60), two-stage high-power amplification (VK-500) and the Unistage® signal path (All BAT preamplifiers). We are pleased to offer industry-leading designs in all these areas. Customer response has overwhelmingly supported BAT’s multifaceted pursuit of excellence.
