Sorry I have been away from the forums but sadly I come in with only bad news .
B&K has closed the doors. It's a sad day in our Industry and I personally feel the pain. I have been Installing B&K products since 1999. I have owned a few of them myself. I will greatly miss this wonderful company.
But like others they made a poor decision in their last Preamp in the ref70. It was just about a finished product but couldn't hold it's own again everyone else had to offer. Shame a few things and it could have been to one to own.
It also had many faults. But there was a lot of talk about bringing out a new model with room correction and built in processing. This is where they lacked and it would have been really nice to see a new preamp to save the company.
I didn't sell them anymore due to the problems I had in the field with them. I loved there amps and multi room systems , they never had any real issues.
So there you have it , bad news .
