Speaker cabinet construction..
Not sure this can truly be considered a white paper as it was originally penned on parchment. 
Speaker cabinet construction..
Shadorne,That's quite a conclusion you've jumped to. Am I sensing a history with VSA? I think it's fair to say that a paper regarding cabinet resonances can be written without the inclusion of porting. That's a different can of worms altogether. A... 
Speaker cabinet construction..
All the VSA speakers are ported, either front or rear, and employ a tunable transmission line woofer cabinet. The speakers can be tuned to the room by adding dacron filling to or subtracting from the port tube. The speaker can effectively become a... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Best speaker I have ever heard? There are tons out there that I haven't heard but two that I have heard; the pair that I now own, the VSA VR5 Anniversaries and the Magico V3s...I can speak to how they compare. I have heard both driven by MAC elect... 
CAT Legend vs WAVAC PR-T1 ?
Better yet, buy solid state. 
How does smoke effect speakers?
Smoke effects the listener more than the speaker especially the kind of smoke they blow at most high end stores. 
Usher 6371 vs Von Schweikert VR4jr
I don't own the JRs but own the SR MKIIs with MC501 monoblocks and can say without hesitation, no subwoofer necessary! The bass response is indeed very dependent on the speaker position. I have the about 4' from front and side walls and slightly t... 
Best speaker for vocals
Any speaker made by Von Schweikert is great on vocals but also huge soundstage, pristine non-fatiguing highs and tight, powerful bass; integration of drivers mimics the ideal single driver point source. Go hear them if you get the chance. 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
Thanks for the correction johnny.bonehead 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
He's right folks. I got you confused with someone on another board. My bad. 
Von Schweikert speakers..
Fplanner:Yes that would be pretty much ideal. I have been on the phone with Albert several times the last few days and have the VS4 SR mkIIs on order. I don't really need to hear them up front with the 90 day trial they offer. I am planning to att... 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
I should jump in here and mention that in a reply to one of my postings "stringreen" dissed the AVS speakers and recommended the Green Mountain speaker line. Call it coincidence that his handle and recommended speaker are quite similar. Can you sa... 
Von Schweikert speakers..
Bdgregory...thank you for the reply sir. That's the rub...I can't audition them without flying somewhere. No dealers in the central IN area nor anywhere even within reasonable driving distance. So I have done what I swore never to do...buy a pair ... 
Von Schweikert speakers..
Strictly tongue-in-cheek mr_bill. Barney Frank is the "goniff" if I may be so bold. Thanks for the civil feedback. Not familiar with the Andra but will research. 
Von Schweikert speakers..
Oh ok. You are accusing Albert Von Schweikert of being a swindler. He must in some way be associated with the Bush administration I suppose. Again, thanks for sharing your opinion.
