| Tubes with Thiel 2.4's Just curious how the Pass setup sounded with your Thiel's, as I would have thought it would be a great match. I used a VT-100 Mk2 with Thiel 2.3's, and it was fine.Just felt I needed more power in the lower octaves, but 2.4's are supposedly a much... | |
| Krell KAV-300cd VS Audio research CD2???? I had the Krell a few years ago and found it relentless. Never happy with it, and the dealer who sold it to me some yaers later made the same comment. Of course, he'd forgotton he'd sold it to me or I'm sure he would have praised it to high Heaven... | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 Bob, Just out of curiousity....what is the reason capacitors need so long to settle in? I have noticed the same thing in my VR4jr's recently.....suddenly, they are a changed speaker, and very much for the better.Carl. | |
| Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10 I have no doubt these are fine amps when the breakin time is up, judging from the great endorsements I have read by so many folks. What bothers me is that should I buy a pair, and I am interested, I will have to play them on average 10 hours a day... | |
| Krell KAV-300cd vs Krell KAV-250cd vs Cary 303-200 I went through 3 of the 300-CD's before I found one that worked, and it still had a lousy sound. Great bass, but the highs were always too bright. I finally sold it, and couldn't recommend one. At the very least, listen to it in your own system be... | |
| Any Drawbacks to COD A few years back, I sold an ARC PH-3 to a guy in New Jersey, COD. I sent it to a Mailboxes address, via UPS,, and somehow , they sent the MO to someone in South Carolina. I am located in Canada, but had used a friend's address in Nothern Maine, a ... | |
| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's I have seen Bel Canto recommended...any comments??? | |
| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's Thanks for the info regarding the JC-1. I was considering one of the new Passamps, the 250.5 model. They will have the balls to drive these speakers, I think, and judging from the opinions I have seen, they are fine mamps. I'd like to hear more po... | |
| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's I'm hoping to get by with something in the 3-6 K area used. | |
| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's Drhst20, Thanks for the response. I guess what I am looking for is to try an amp with more slam factor, but one that still retains the great sonics of my Gamut. It is a tad light in the bottom, I believe. Unfortunately, my isolated location preclu... | |
| Steel shot Maniac, Where did you put the lead shot in?..It looks like you put the shot in the hole in the front of the speaker, from your post!!...I hope that wasn't the case, and I misunderstood what you meant. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts? ELB.. Contact VSA. They will send you a pair of the new spikes at no charge. Just got mine this week, and they are a major improvement.Carl | |
| Steel shot I just added 50 lbs of lead to my new Vr4jr's last night and I have no qualms about it. The plug was a real bitch to get out, and went back in place just as tightly , so I can't imagine the dust can get into the air. It is also sealed there so the... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Tvad, Do you mean fromyour reply that the woofer wire is less critical than the tweeter wire, or that HD 12 or Canare would be fine for both?.I currently have a Blue Heaven single wire, as well as a set of inexpensive Rapport wires that I'm trying... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Just got a pair, and am breaking them in this week. Ihave a Gamut D200 amp, which has two sets of output terminals. The manual says you can use both in a biwire setup, taking the "direct" set for the tweeter/mids, and the "filtered" set for the wo... |
