Yeah, I was into BAT myself during those times with Dynaudio speakers. I actually sold the BAT gear and went with a pair of McIntosh MC501 monos as the next evolution of my system. Not that there was anything wrong with BAT and not that the McIntosh gear that replaced it blew it away... It was just a different presentation.
I think BAT is the type of sound that one either really likes or not. Considering we all hear differently, to my ears it was always a bit on the darker side but still very musical with a liquid midrange, the McIntosh sounded more neutral but just as engaging if a touch less refined at times.
I have not heard any of the new BAT gear in quite some time so I have no idea but I would be surprised if the "house sound" changed.
