Von Schweikert VR4-JR
Blindjim, why did you replace the tweeters on your jr's? Sometimes when listenning to some recordings with cymbals, I feel like I should replace mine. It makes me wonder if I melted some of the voice coil or something in them. Over all though, I l...

Thanks for your input!

Nola is actually Alon spelled backwards. I had the Alon 5 mark 2's. They were excellent. They had the most beautiful base that I have ever heard, along with all of their other excellent qualities.

Very cheap, very small, sort of powerful 3 ch amp
Look for a six channel amp and bridge the channels to get three (more powerful)channnels. I did this with a used Rotel and it sounds great. There are switches on the back of the amp to bridge the channels.
