Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?



Does anyone own or heard this speaker? If so, please give me your impressions.

Also, what are the sonic benefits (if any) in a high efficency speaker over regular efficency?

Thanks

Hi Jack.

Could you send me a picture of the Ebonys with the supertweeter?

I just got my pair a week back. To me, at least, they sounded very similar to the VR4sr out of the box. I think the DB99s are back-logged. I had to wait closer to 8 weeks before i got my pair.
Hi Jack. Thanks for the picture. I've converted your pdf file to a jpg file. The best I can do is post a link.

DB-99 SE with Super Tweeter Module
Guys, when was the DB-99 SE released? I know the mk II has been out since 2003 I think. I'm just curious since I got my SEs just recently and my serial number is below 0020.
I do hear some hum in mine, but it's from a pre/amp I've used while "preamp rolling." The built in amps in mine are very quiet.
Hey Tony,

So did you get to fix the bass amp problem? It does sound like it's clipping. The only way to stop it from clipping, in my opinion, is for you to lower the volume. Gosh, at what db do you listen at? Do you rock the house?
