Description
For sale: the iconic power amplifier from BAT—the very model that established the company's global reputation—due to an upgrade within the same brand.
The unit underwent a comprehensive refurbishment this April; the capacitors were replaced with higher-quality components than the originals, and the output tube sockets were also replaced. The technician who performed the work can provide further details regarding the refurbishment, which cost over 2,000 EUR. Since then, it has been used in rotation with five other amplifiers, meaning it has seen fewer than 100 hours of operation. I can also provide upgraded, "NOS" (New Old Stock) 6SN7 tubes separately, if desired. Some information about this model:
The VK-60 is a definitive model among BAT’s early, high-power tube amplifiers. Its uniqueness lies not only in the tubes used but in its entire design architecture.
Technical highlights:
* Fully balanced, differential circuit topology, extending from the input through to the output transformers.
* 4 x 6C33C-B power triodes in the output stage.
* 8 x 6SN7 signal tubes.
* Three separate, shielded toroidal transformers: one mains transformer and two output transformers.
* LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH output taps to accommodate various loudspeaker impedances.
* Automatic bias control, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the operating point. * Input design compatible with balanced XLR, as well as balanced and RCA (single-ended) systems.
Key Specifications:
* Minimum 55 W, typically around 65 W of power per channel.
* Specified for 2, 4, and 8-ohm loads.
* Power bandwidth: 7 Hz – 100 kHz.
* Gain: 28 dB.
* Weight: approximately 39 kg.
Sound Character:
The greatest strength of the VK-60 lies in its exceptionally refined detail retrieval and natural tonal palette. It is characterized by a particularly beautiful midrange, lifelike vocals, excellent micro-dynamic resolution, and precise soundstaging.
It avoids the typical, slightly blurred, "romantic" tube sound. Instead, it offers a unique combination of resolution, airiness, and an organic presentation.
The differential circuit topology—a hallmark of BAT—combined with large-scale output transformers, defines the unit’s unique technical and sonic character.
A serious, uniquely engineered piece of American high-end electronics that remains a compelling alternative among top-tier solid-state and tube power amplifiers to this day.
Located in Budapest; shipping can be arranged if required.
In excellent aesthetic condition.
