With the economic situation in this country over the past 5-6 years, am sure many small businesses have looked for or are looking for a 'white knight'. As we've seen with McIntosh and their new owners and now BAT, it is probably better to have someone in the industry to help you then someone who is just interested in the money (Krell & Cary - probably others).

Well one thing for sure...BAT needs to update their Website...or MD needs to...seems like they have new products that some of us might be curious about. I did read they moved to transformer coupling vs capacitor in some of their preamps. Apparently this helps improve the sound....I'd like to know more...

Also, where I am most curious is did they update the phono stages recently?

Why isn't anyone asking the new guy what the scoop is?

I have heard many very good BAT products in the past.

The company seemed to fall off the map about 3-4 years ago.
I assumed MD was selling old stock of a dead/dying company.

I hope BAT can return to its days of glory by making great products at justifiable price points.

VK is certainty a great member of the "audio designers" and giving him some capital should allow for new and improved products.
