REX 300 Power Amplifier
Balanced Audio Technology’s latest REX Series offering, the REX 300 solid-state power amplifier, sounds very much like the brother of the REX 500. Further tuning of the REX 300 power supply results in the introduction of the fourth-generation of BAT’s SuperPak topology. Steve Bednarski, BAT general manager, notes: “This new SuperPak Quattro helps further blur the line between tube and solid-state design. It provides much greater textural beauty to the reproduction of music.” He continues: “It will only take one listen to understand.”
REX 500 Power Amplifier
Massive Power Output, Simplified
Balanced Audio Technology’s flagship solid-state power amplifier, REX 500, represents the culmination of the company’s decades-long pursuit of sonic and engineering excellence. Victor Khomenko, BAT’s chief designer, observes that the unit’s massive power output is largely academic. “BAT has never designed for power alone, and I am most proud of the elegant simplicity in how the REX 500 delivers that power,” he says. For those who demand numbers, the stereo REX 500 produces 500 watts/channel into eight ohms and 1000 watts/channel into four ohms. In mono configuration, let’s just say that the power is more than adequate.
REX 3 Power Amplifier
A truly different approach to tube amp design.
Think of REX 3 as four single-ended amplifiers in one box. Two waveforms per channel are summed at the output transformer. We call this a single-ended bridge design. This unique design acheives the finesse and naturalness of a Class A single-ended triode amplifier. With the power, dynamics, and control of a Class AB push pull amplifier.
“The world’s finest products offer a level of intimacy and involvment that sets them apart from the rest. That’s what the REX 3 delivers - a level of sonic intimacy that you won’t want to let it go if it grabs you. And you won’t find it anywhere else."

VK-90t Power Amplifier
The Sound of Musical Truth
The Balanced Audio Technology VK-90t power amplifier features a fuse-less protection circuit, active current sources for its two gain stages, intelligent auto-bias circuit with LED indicators, and high-current, all-triode, zero-feedback, fully balanced topology. Its 25th anniversary industrial design is complemented by new, silver-gold oil capacitors and ultra-transparent internal wiring in the signal path. With VK-90t, BAT realizes that serious listeners want unique technology, user-friendly experiences, and faithful-to-the-source sonics in high-end equipment. The equivalent of having two single-ended amplifiers per channel, VK-90t meets these demands and more—and sounds mesmerizing minutes after being turned on. VK-90t also means there are no tubes to bias; no fuses to replace; no pentodes imitating triodes; and no direct current at the tube output stage. VK-90t is the sound of the future—and musical truth.
VK-80t Power Amplifier
The incredible sound of triode tubes with the ease of use of solid-state!
Nothing sounds like a triode tube amplifier, especially one loaded with a quartet of the famous 6C33C-B output tubes. Designed in a push-pull configuration, the VK-80t delivers 60 watts per channel in stereo or 120 watts when converted into a monoblock.
In addition, the fuse-less protection circuit in VK-80t is combined with a world-class automatic-bias circuit that eliminates the constant need to set and readjust the proper bias of the output tubes. No tubes to bias. No fuses to replace. It doesn’t get any easier!
