Angeboten wird „Balanced Audio Technology VK 80i“ von Balanced Audio Technology als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2462405335 endet am 03.09.2026 um 17:10 Uhr.
Timing matters a bit here because the VK-80i is an older, discontinued design, so you’re buying on reputation and condition rather than expecting a current-generation feature set. At €8,000, the ask is just above your recent comparable median of €7,947 and slightly above the €8,373 75th percentile? No — it sits between the median and upper quartile, so I’d call it fair-to-ambitious, not a bargain.
That said, it’s still a worthwhile buy if the listing is clean: BAT integrateds are well regarded for powerful, controlled bass, a big soundstage, and a very “musical” presentation that suits real-world speakers well. If it’s original-owner, fully boxed, and recently serviced, the value proposition improves fast; for a tube/valve hybrid of this age, service history matters more than cosmetic perfection.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) emerged in 1995 in the United States, founded by Steve Bednarski, Victor Khomenko, and Geoff Poor—engineers united by a passion for superior sound reproduction. From its inception, BAT distinguished itself through innovative balanced circuit topology, a design that inherently rejects noise and safeguards signal integrity, setting the stage for its enduring pursuit of audio purity.
The brand specializes in ultra-high-end components, including fully balanced tube and solid-state power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and phono preamps. Hand-built in a dedicated U.S. facility by skilled craftsmen, these products prioritize meticulous engineering to preserve the original signal's natural beauty, eschewing speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables in favor of core amplification excellence.
BAT commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market, catering to discerning audiophiles worldwide across over 40 countries. With a 25-year legacy of uncompromising performance, it embodies niche boutique prestige, where balanced architecture delivers unmatched transparency and dynamics for those seeking reference-level systems.
