During extended listening sessions, it came to me that I'd never heard the [Symponic Line] RG-8 sound so good [as with the VK-P10 in my system]. The burnish and shimmer of the cymbals at the end of "Too Rich for my Blood" was so apparently real to the event that it just wasn't possible to tell. The midrange textures were filled with velvety nooks and crannies. The bass and dynamic slam gave me goosebumps.

  The BAT VK-P10 allowed every part of the amplification chain to work its best.

  During the course of the review, I threw everything I had at the VK-P10: Big Symphonic, Big Rock, Big Band, and lots of smaller, sweeter recordings of all kinds. The P10 never failed to deliver the musical goods.

  By virtue of its design, its power supply, and its eschewal of feedback, the BAT breathes. In so doing, it effortlessly lets the music through. This is one fine effort, worth every penny of its asking price.
