Hopefully, the newer offerings from BAT have a better design and/or uses better caps & parts. When I think about the prices for the REX editions, (1) unit that does not perform, is too much.
Follow Ups:
Above I provided the data on old design, that clearly shows no issues at all with its parts or their application. 7 failed parts out of 50,000 over the period of ten years is the record anyone would be proud of.The only area where there was some issue was one part in one application, specifically - the preamp output capacitor, but that part was improved by Jensen as soon as the problem was discovered about ten years ago. But even that had low frequency of occurrence. Specifically, 2.5% of them failed in TEN years. To us it was still significant enough to worry about. To the best of my knowledge there have been no such failures since the redesign.
Speaking objectively, there is simply no evidence at all to support the notion that "BAT's tend to have cap problems".

Excellent data -Victor. I see you are listed as a "manufacturer" - what do you make/produce?
.
Outstanding- Victor.
are there are new product(s) being released this year?
Yes, of course... they will appear very soon on our web site. Two solid state preamps, one new solid state amp, and I hope to have more this year.
Regarding your website, it would be helpful to list all U.S.A dealer/retailers.
I think our sales force feels our network is not yet finalized, I know they have been making some changes.
This aspect of your website would be most-helpful.
I will mention that to our people responsible for it, I am just a technical guy! :) I hear people argue it both ways.
