High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ???
...they got a trial policy now. 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
Ozzy The nomenclature of the thread size is at the website... or was... the funny part of it is Albert says you can go to the hardware store to get any or all of the fasteners, screws etc. Then I happend upon the thread sizes of the spikes, either...

Thanks ChezzI like the Bolero's looks and size. Specs to, but the LaFolia strikes me as probably the better speaker in the Silverline array... for my tastes.I've also developed an interest in the "Reimer" speakers... but don't know anything much a...

Tvad... now that's funny. Very nice.I think though, in all seriousness, VSA product performance is not the issue. rather how issues are handled by VSA currently. getting a bigger piece of market shre by providing exceptionally performing and hence... 
High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ???
Hmmmm. thanks duke. With the addition of the Thor MK II preamp, the degree of naturalness in my system has been elevated to no small affair. It's scary good... and as my office/equipment room is immediately adjacent to the listening area, the soun...

Tvad - I think I saw that one already, maybe not. I did see one wherein Duke was telling you stuff about matching the amps impedance or something... I've read so many things these past few weeks my eyes are rectangles... and my ears are worn out..... 
High eff speakers? Sonata III, Super III, OR ???
Newbee I'll look into that bit. I didn't think impedance matching was that important between amp & speakers though. thanks for the heads up.Metralla I appreciate the notes on the SE III. I'm in no hurry at all, and might wind up with something...

Tvad ...I agree. Though I can't help but think Mr. V is aware of the goings on with his service & Q.A. departments. I feel it's a people thing at VSA. A need for 'more' or more 'qualified' is simply evident.VSA product performance is fine, but...

Joiseyguy I've had success dealing with VSA, myself. I believe I did say as much... once contact was made. in fact in refference to ozzy's current issue with the threaded gromet in the base of the top module, one of my issues surrounding my JR's w... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
If customer service is entirely quantified by access... I'd say there is surely a great deal of room for improvment at VSA.If however it is based upon what takes place upon contact with VSA, I'd have to admit still some room for improvement is nee...

you know, "Ozzy" is right. We went through this on another thread about the JRs. In fact a dealer told me to use all four of the bass mods posts!. yep, it's true. take out the plates or leave them in, I heard no diff on the JRs. BUT do hook to the... 
Most Effective Tweaks
The least expensive and biggest benefit in comfiguring a system is an open mind. Remain flexible. It costs nothing. A closed mind can be ridiculously expensive.From a value oriented perspective, isolation comes to mind. Some fancy wood footers (bl... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
having been some time since I added to this thread and some things have changed for me including my perspectives, I'll add this bit of experience and begin by echoing "Sonicbeauty"... RUN, DO NOT WALK! Away from this hobby. the balance of his stat... 
CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best?
TA DA. The TA 1000 MK II is here, and it WORKS.The subjective answer to this thread is forthcoming. I do admit from the begining of this thread to this time, some amount of learning has taken place. What is "Best" has truly just one answer, and mu... 
New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???
That might well be. changing out drivers likely would necessitate x over changes. Hmmm. see, I got it a different way. Ask VAudio. Chris mentioned to me once that his ordering of a pair of SR's included changes in the X over at his request. Albert...
