Offered is „SET: BAT REX II PRE Röhrenvorstufe mit separatem Netzteil und REX II Power Mono Röhrenendstufen (Paar)“ by Balanced Audio Technology as second-hand device from the category „Pre- / Poweramp Combination“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 179802018 ends on 28.12.2026 at 16:16 o'clock.
New, the REX II preamplifier retailed at roughly €23,000 equivalent, while the power amplifier was around €18,000 equivalent; this €22,000 asking price therefore depends heavily on whether it is the preamp, amplifier, or a complete pairing. Against 31 comparable used listings, the median is €18,358, with the upper quartile at €18,744, so €22,000 is ambitious rather than a bargain.
It remains a serious, desirable BAT design: fully balanced circuitry, transformer-coupled tube operation, unusually comprehensive control, and a reputation for taut, dynamic bass with excellent scale. The preamp’s two-box construction and extensive XLR connectivity are especially appealing in a high-end balanced system, while the amplifier offers 80 watts per channel and automatic biasing. At this price, confirm the exact component, tube complement, service history, and included accessories; a complete, exceptionally clean package could justify a premium, but a single unit should be negotiated toward the market median.
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.
