Larryken,
Got your speakers yet? |
Thanks for your responses. I have been considering pairing the db99's up with consonance Ref 2.2 and consonance new Cyber 10 sig integraded 2a23. Any other recommendations? My budget is about spent. Was looking at other speakers in the line up and ran across what I think is a good deal on the 99's. |
My room size is 15 x 17.5 x 8. Sdatch, how do you think they will work in this room? I can't afford 5 ft in to the room. I liked this speaker due to bass managment with volume control and was hoping this would work in the room. I will probably get them from woofer to back wall three to four feet.
Thoughts... |
I now have dealers trying to get me to hold off and get the new VR4 SR. My feeling is the DB-99 with the super tweeter add on will outperform the VR4 Sr. What are other's thoughts on this?
I also do like base managment in this speaker and it is smaller than the VR4 SR for my room |
Hey Tireguy where are you? Please give me your impressions of the DB-99.....
Please:) |
This may be a good point overall. I wonder if the DB-99's were put in the room where the VR 4 SR's were and the same CD player used if they would have sounded as uninspiring as the VR 4 JR's did? Which is to say that the DB-99's could be viewed as more versitile as they have bass management and perhapse easier regarding image placement. Just a thought. |
Thanks for the info, I think I am taking the plunge also. |
A dealer of consonace told me that consonance uses the DB-99's as their reference speaker when tweaking the amps. Don't know if he is just pulling my leg for a sale or not, but thus far has been a very stand up guy. Have no reason not to beleive him. |
Larry,
IYO did the speakers sound better with tubs or SS? |
Anyone else??.... Anyone have any negitive experiences with these speakers? |
I am getting dealer demo's-- What's going on? Are they on back order? |
As a follow up- after reading all amazing review regarding the 99s I purchased some. AMAZING speaker.
Jack-
How much of a difference do the super tweeters make?

I have no hum but... I am having a problem with the built in amp in one of the speakers kicking off and on during complex/heavy bass sections in music. Am changing tubes currently in my mono blocks to see if this helps. Does anyone else have this occur to them? |
Hey Jack- yea you are gushing :) understandably so.
For the most part all speaker owners say good things about their speakers so I will throw this in as I think it's a great testimony to the 99's.
My wife could give a crap about speakers. To her they have been my silly hobby which she's tolerated because "at least it's not golf." After I set up the 99's and got them placed correctly with room treatments etc. I took her down(sound room in the basement) to listen to them.
I put on her faviorite band U2 and thought if anybody can charm her into liking these puppies Bono can.
So there she sat and as the right speaker rang out the first guitar she turned and said- "That sounds cool- the guitar is coming from over there".
Then the second guitar chimed in on the left side and she said "Oh that's neat they are seperated and real....."
Just then Bono started to sing and she stopped in mid sentence. She sat there for about thirty seconds and then turned to me and ask, "How are they doing that?" Without waiting for an answer she turned back and just listend.
She then got up and went to the middle of the speakers and the front wall to see if I had put a center speaker there and ask again "How can they be doing this?" After the song ended she sat there and said "WOW."
Now THAT's praise. These speakers are soo good that they not only have my wife off my back- she's next to me on the couch. Thanks VSA!!! |
Thanks,
I do like jazz-- will check it out. |
Kevin said it may be going into protective mode during these times. Where do you keep your bass volume set on the amps. Mine is at about two o'clock.
Larry, I am a newbie to this- Newbie question- what is clipping? |
How would one go about stopping clipping? I keep my speakers about 9ft appart and about 5 1/2 feet from back wall |
Hey,
Yes I did get this fixed. May be a bit beyond me to explain as I a not technical but I added some homemade bass traps and I suppose it changed the pressure in the room because it made the clipping go away. I LOVE these speakers. Just read they are dropping them from the line- too bad. Glad I have these.
Thanks for asking
Best
Tony |
