Looking to buy the end of game speakers, currently I have Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. My amp is the Parasound a21 with the Parasound p5 pre amp, Marantz sa8001 sacd and the Marantz sr5001 avr, psa xs15se sub. My budget is 5 to 10k on main speaker upgrade.
I looked at the website. I think there is a good deal of analogy directed at the layperson applied there to describe what they are trying to do. It kinda works to describe what teh advertised benefit is but of course is lacking in technical detail as is the case with many product websites targeting the average person and not just engineers that might be able to sort through things.
I'll give it credit for being unique. Can it deliver particularly in the value category? We'll see. It seems to use some good components as mentioned and I would expect it to be more directional than otherwise, which is a somewhat unique design goal and is the jist of what they are trying to do I think. Kinda taking things in the opposite direction from teh norm than omnidirectional speakers. There could be unique benefit with that if done even moderately well that might help justify the cost for what seems to be an undersized product for teh cost otherwise on teh grand scale of things. Time will tell. Jughead perhaps even sooner. I see the glass maybe to be more half full than half empty with this product. At least its something a little different. We'll see soon I suspect if its the deal deal or just another passing gimmick.
When I was looking for postings on Vapor either here or other sites I saw a lot of drama. The "Wolf" likes birch ply because that is what Vapor uses. Pretty clear who "wolf" is and I would not touch the company with a ten foot pole. Go to Audio Circle and look up Dragon_vibe's DELETED posts. "ALARMING" It would be a very stupid idea to part with your money! It makes sense why they were deleted.
How else does a $10k question turn into a Vapor discussion. Seriously folks, let get back to the original topic. I was hoping to hear about PMC, Spendor, ATC, Proacs, etc.
