| List of Floorstanders around $6500.00 NEW I would include the Focus Audio 788 into the mix. They are 5500 - 6000 new I beleive. Incredibly beautiful cabinet work, imaging which can be breathtaking, Revelator tweeter...done right. I have heard some of the most dynamic and clear sound from ... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amp for VR.Jr. IMO you will get a much more musical presentation with a tube amp like the VK-300x (BAT). That would sound awesome. If you must go SS, I would go with the Levinson, Sim Audio or Plinius.I think to get the most out of these speakers you need tubes ... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Dodgealum, check Audiogon carefully, there are just as many if not more Spendors for sale at any one time then VSR. Thats not a very valid point anyway, because people upgrade all the time. VSR speakers get progressively better (signifcantly) as ... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Grakesh, glad it works for you !"Sweet sounding mid-range" I just don't get how someone can like a coloured speaker over a neutral one. Doesn't it get old very quickly? Also with suropy/sweet sound how can you listen to rock or pop or anything wit... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? I disagree - wholeheartedly with Dodgealums assessment/opiniion . The VSR 4jr are very musical speakers. They are all about what is in front of them. Feed them tubes and you will be in heaven. If you consider excellent imaging, first rate detail r... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Ajahu,What utter nonsense...My bass is fast and articulate. Highs are sweet and extended. Something is terribly wrong with the setup(s) you heard. These speakers are by no means the last word but they are excellent for 4K and well beyond. The bett... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? In Absentia and Deadwing - Procupine Tree... both very well recorded Seedees and very cool music to boot (Prog-rock). Good listening | |
| Totem Hawks/Forests - Upstream Components As far as amps go, anything by Sim Audio. I heard a pair of Forests with a Sim W5. It was very nice indeed. The W5 is smooth, extremely detailed yet relaxed with tremendous bass. The W5 with 190 Watts, will make those forests sing ! I am pretty su... | |
| wadia 830 compared to cary 303/200 I'll chime in on the Wadia 830 too, I have had mine for about 3 years and it has easily ass whipped some highly regarded units in my system including the latest Cary which I wanted to like very much but... well, I still have my Wadia. Wadia is off... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? OpalchipLOL - you must sure have a lot of free time on your hands LOLNo offence man... its just funny the lengths some folks go to make a point on this forum... Did you actually go back and go thru all those threads?... thats funny.Good listening | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? I love my VR4jr. I would consider myself a music lover, gear head and audiophile. Depends on the time of day or night. So that theory is for shit. My wife could add a few more adjectives when I ignore her when I get into the groove listening to my... | |
| Wadia still in business? It is a shame that their customer service sucks so bad. I too have a CDP from them and asking simple questions thru email you get this 'stupid' generic, "we are experiencing lots of email and a rep will respond to you shortly..." 6 weeks later you... | |
| Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's Robm321Could not agree more. I want best sound for my money. I dont want to spend extra 2K for furniture grade veneers etc..., some might, I dont. I unlike many others on this forum dont think the quality of the veneer or thickness of the varni... | |
| Tally up best digital player ever Close tie for me Wadia 861 GNSC moded or the Limited edition Sim Audio Eclipse. Both sound incredible.Good listening | |
| Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay Herman,I have delved into my unit, having it opened up to see what makes it tick.. out of curiosity. Being a mechanical engineer I can appreciate the simplicity and design that has gone into this unit. Intimate circuitry knowledge .. No, but enoug... |
