BAT REX 500
Balanced Audio Technology’s REX 500 is their best amplifier yet. It certainly looks the part, as the massive chassis of the unit dwarves other models and is a good indicator of the incredible power this amplifier provides. As with all BAT products though, it’s not just about the power here. The REX 500’s dual independent monoblock design, its use of only two gain stages, and — true to the company name — truly balanced circuitry combine to bring incredible clarity. This amp really is the best of both worlds: it has a beautifully pure and transparent sound profile with the engine to bring it to just about any sound system you could imagine … and then some. This is a fantastic piece to take a high end system to the next level, come in and experience it for yourself in our reference room!
