Von Schweikert VR-2's
This is a question for Rives... I know this might sound silly but what is a PARC? 
Von Schweikert VR-2's
I also agree with Dma except that I think that the rear ambient speaker is awesome. You adjust it according to how big your room is (totally up to your tastes) and you can get imaging like nothing I have ever heard in a speaker in it's price range... 
Speaker recommendations please

New Speakers 1k
I just got in a pair of the VR1s to replace my Thiel 1.5s and they are hands down the best sounding pair of speakers that I have heard for under 1k. I think that they could probably beat out a lot of speakers that go for 2 to 3 times as much. They... 
Von Schweikert VR-1 monitor info.....
A friend of mine just got a pair of these. He let me take them home to listen to in my system and they knocked my socks off. I have a pair of Thiel 1.5 and they put them to shame (especially since I paid over 2k for the Thiels and these are only 1...
