What does it take to qualify as a reviewer?
Mapman, I agree with what you are saying about how the other sites do a great job of tracking overall rankings. Audio Review is another site that does this. I also agree that the people on this site are more OCD about their gear. My point was, why... 
What does it take to qualify as a reviewer?
I don't get the difference between people on Amazon, Crutchfield and this site. All of the above site reviews are done by people that have the equipment in their system, they all have an agenda, and they all have a bias. What makes any of them dif... 
RMAF 2011: Any tips?
Last year was the first time I went. The one thing I would say is go to the upper floors of the tower side early in the day. I found that you end up wasting too much time waiting on the elevator later in the day as they are busy going back and for... 
BAT Pre Amps
Be aware that the 50SE/51SE are fully balanced only on both the inputs and outputs. If your sources and amps do not have xlr connections, you would need to buy adaptors as well. However, the 51SE at the above mentioned price would be a great deal ... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Now THAT is ironic. LMFAO! 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
One thing is crystal clear in this; reading comprehension is not your strong suit. 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Glory, you missed the point, or at least my point. Chad has never heard the VR33 and said as much. Yet he still insisted on providing commentary on their sound. Jdoris posted a comment on 5/24 that he heard them and did not care for them. Not one ... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
The one thing you are right about is that this thread is only about a speaker. You seem to regard it as only being based on your opinion, and that noone else is as educated in the ways of audio as yourself. (I'm entitled to my opinion... WHAHHH!!!...

Geddy Lee, hard to believe he hasn't been mentioned yet. 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Making comments, either positive or negative, about a speaker you admit you have never heard is certainly NOT reasonable. The exchange of ideas and experiences should be in regards to the product in question, because that is what the OP asked abou... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
"I hope it sounds better than it looks"The same could certainly be said about the Vandersteen 3A signature. The 3A and VR33 look more alike than different. I will not comment on the Vandies sound, as I have not heard them. I will say that I have l... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
I heard the VR 33's at RMAF last fall with fairly inexpensive Jolida gear. I thought they sounded as good or better than anything else I heard there in that price class. Made everything from contemporary jazz to rock and hard rock sound enjoyable ... 
Legacy speakers and what amps?
I agree that the Legacy speakers like power. I have owned many Legacy speakers over the years, with the chance to try out quite a few amps on them. My two favorites were the Legacy mono bloc and the Aragon Palladium 2 mono bloc (my understanding i... 
A New Believer
Wire doesn't "improve the sound". Some wires degrade the sound less than others. All of them color the sound to some degree, just like any other link in the chain.
