| What speakers do you recommend? The slim VR-3.5's would be a great fit based on your room size and equipment. They image as well as Quads yet offer a great off-axis wide soundstage, and have the wallop and punch to deliver effortless dynamic low-end in spite of their relative sm... | |
| Best speaker for medium to low power tube amps?? I second the new DB99's from Von Schweikert. They can be had within the constraints of your budget. Georgeous to view, they are articulate, lush, with plenty of low-end response (12lb 10" woofer, driven by a class AB internal amp.)Best sound at CE... | |
| Evo owners What speakers work well with your amp? Highly recommended by this Von Schweikert VR5 HSE Reference speakers owner/dealer and by Albert as well.Jack | |
| What speaker to replace ESL 63? State of the Art driver and crossovers, unique internal damping methods, ambient driver, Hovland caps in the "SE" models, add up to a very quick, transparent, dynamic speaker that delivers a wide soundstage. The VR3.5's(list 3k) have been compared... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED Pick up a pair of used VR4's, 4.5's, for 4-GenII's for $1200-$2000. You might even consider a new pair of VR3.5's for around $2600, that many compare favorably to a pr. of new $7k Quads! See at www.vonschweikert.com "archives" or www.stereotimes.c... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? One of a handful of speakers that stood out at the last CES was Finyl(?). Their HT set-up was truely outstanding offering a punchy low-end with typical sizzling upper freq sounds. Sonics were well balanced, and their relative low-profile, large so... | |
| Von Schweikert VM-3 Monitor? I too had the VM2's and thought they were exceptional. I moved up to the floorstanding VR3.5. I was so impressed with the entire line up,,,, I became a dealer for Albert.The VonSchweikert's are a bargain hi-end speaker. | |
| Loudspeaker under 3000 new or used Von Schweikert VR3.5's should be a must hear after listening to the rest. See at www.vonschweikert.com | |
| Sony SCD-C333ES a good buy? The SCD 333ES is even a better buy AFTER modifications are made by Richard Kern. When compared against the 333ES's big brothers (777ES & SCD-1) the 333ES is harsh, serves up a narrow soundstage, and demonstrates a lean low-end. If you like the... | |
| Best value speakers available I second the last response concerning Von Schweikert.Remove the word "value" from the heading and the Von Schweikerts easily qualify as "Best Speakers Available".They are a tremendous value as well. |
