| Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220 I've owned a vk 200 and a vk 60. At the time, I was using a vk 50se pre and Audio Physic Virgo speakers. Tireguy is pretty much right on. The vk60 will give you a midrange to die for. In terms of transparency, depth, image, tonality, etc.... The b... | |

| Virgo II's without AP's placement recommendations? They'll be fine. I used to own a pair. They'll be better balanced properly placed...but so will any speaker. My guess it'll shorten the depth some and maybe make the bass a little stronger... | |

| Speakers Corner QC? Music Direct will take them back within 30 days if truly defective. I've had them take 2 lp's back over the last 6 months. I'm guessing at their own expense...pretty good customer service. | |
| Speakers Corner QC? I've bought about 20 or so speaker corners and about the same for classic. Never had a issue with the speaker corners...about 2 of my classics have been a little noisey. Most a pretty perfect...Sounds like bad luck on your part ! Sorry ! | |
