| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Hi Tubegroover,I am not going to go into detail telling you about my various auditions of the Vandersteens and everything surrounding that and why I ultimately passed on them. As I think this thread has already derailed enough and its quite sad. H... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? StringgreenIf you are going to go there too. I must be one of the few that don't know what real music is cause I preferred the VS 5 Annies over the Vandies you own. I found the vandies 5A had a narrow sweet spot, lack of dyanamics on much of the t... | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? Hey ChadnlizI don't think I am touchy... just don't like when uninformed people slam a product or a company based on a 10 minute audition (if that) or heresay. I would defend any company in the same manner. Have a nice day :)Back to the music | |
| New Von Schweikert VR 33? they are just plain and unremarkable ..... In your opinion dude. I and MANY others disagree. The 4JRs that I still have in my secondary system are beyond reproach and I struggled long and hard to find a better speaker, including some highly rega... | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame Anyone that appreciates the Moodies, should seek out John/Justins Blue Jays (mid 70s), Mike Pinders The Promise (mid 70s) or anyone of Justin Hayward'S solo albums, especially View from the Hill (mid 90s). Even Ray Thomas, who is now re... | |
| Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8 I second the VSA VR5 ann. My Sim W8 just makes those speakers sound incredible. I have paired Sim with VSA on numerous occasions very successfully. | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame Their first 6 or 7 albums are some of the best music ever made, by anyone. They should have been in the hall of fame back in 72 IMO. But something tells me they (the band) don't give a rats ass about that kind of thing. They love music and it show... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Chelvam,Congrats, you will love the Chardonnay. I recall Mick saying he would build some units here and there after he said his shop was closing up. I actually got a refund some time ago from him for a Sauv I had on order for over a year. He j... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5 vs Revel Salon2 I have auditioned both intensively (among many others)...both are on my short list, have been for a while. I keep finding bargains I can't resist and as such keep putting off the 'big' speaker purchase. Soon I hope. The Salons are beautiful lookin... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I am another very happy Supratek owner. I have 2 close audio buddies that bought after hearing mine and their systems have been transformed profoundly as well. They will be removing my cold dead hands from mine before I give it up, heheheh Still h... | |
| MOODY BLUES CD'S 'December' their 'quasi' christmas / (cool winter theme) album released a couple - 3 years ago has amazing sonics as well. I recently bought Octave - remastered CD with Hayward in the room...very impressive, much better then the original . Compare... | |
| Totem Owners.... "Since vince only makes maybe 30 pairs a year, and they dont really want them talked about because they cant meet demands on them"LOL You really beleive that?That said, I do like Totems... One of the better and more consistent Canadian speaker com... | |
| Better speakers than Von Schweiker VR4jr under 3k Samzx12 - WTF "take advantage of people"..."consistently try to low ball" Where do you get off insulting me? Its dolts like you that would buy a speaker for 10K and turn around and sell it the next day for 1/3 the cost and then insult people like ... | |
| Better speakers than Von Schweiker VR4jr under 3k With the economy tanking and lots of folks dumping their stuff (or soon will be) it should be fairly easy to find 8K+ speakers for around 3K so the field is wide open to find something 'better'. I have a local guy selling me his Focus Audio FS888,... | |
| Lindsey Buckingham LB's "Out of the Cradle " ablum from 5-6 years ago is incredible - soundwise and music. One of the best sounding CDs in my library. I use it all the time when auditioning equipment, very well recorded and the musicianship is just second to none. R... |
