Lead shot VR4jr's
Hey Y'all,The lead shot is very helpful but I used something different in my VR-2's. I used Micro bearings from Star Sound Technologies. This stuff is more expensive but it is safe to handle unlike lead shot. You will not need much for your speake... 
New R Series Rel Subs
Hey Y'all,I've heard it in my system. Clean and clear, there is LFE coming from the subs below 20 HZ. I don't know if I feel, because of course you can't hear down to 13 HZ, the LFE down to 13 Hz. In fact there might not be any LFE down to 13 Hz i... 
Best remote controlled sub for music, will use 2
Hey Zapper,My room is exactly the same size as yours and the 10" drivers and 150 watts of power that the MJ Ref 150 MK II's will provide, are more then enough. I also doubt that a 15" driver is fast enough to keep up with your Silverline Sonatas. ... 
New R Series Rel Subs
Hey Y'all,I find the info on the Sumiko website for these subs a bit suspect. How low do these subs go? I just purchased two MJ Acoustic Reference 150 Mk IIs and they are incredible. I replaced the Rel Strata III subs I've had in my system for ove...

Anyone try and compare the Halcro SSP 100 or 80?
Hello,I'm also very interested in what any owner might be able to share about his experience with this Pre/Pro. I've spoken to someone that says it is sonically superior to the Krell HTS 7.1 and Halcro does have a good reputation for it's two chan...

Von Schweikert VR 4 Gen III SE Thread size?
Hey Y'all,You can also call Robert at Starsound Technologies, he knows the size of just about every speaker, sub or stand thread you can name..........John 
What can you tell me about jm reynaude.
Hey Y'all,I think Von Schwiekert is currently putting out the best speakers on the market. I've had the pleasure of listening to every speaker in VSA's current line up except for the VR-1. The best, and most un-appreciated speaker is the DB-99. Th... 
What can you tell me about jm reynaude.
Hey Y'all,I'm the gent that Tireguy is referring to in his post. I owned the Trentes for 5 years and I did have the cabinets replaced three times. The only inaccuracy in what Tireguy said was that when I sold the speakers, they where not coming ap... 
Where to see Audio in Manhattan
Hey Y'all,Having been born and raised in NYC, I whole heartedly agree with Kal. I have not been in an audio shop in five years. Part of it is Audiogon, why bother with paying retail or only getting 10% to 15% off. The other part is the general tre... 
Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range
Hey Y'all,I agree with Swampwalker, Von Schweikert Audio is a very good choice for your preference in music. Over the last two years, I've become a big Von Schweikert fan. I've heard all the new models from the VR-2 to the VR-11. There is not a we... 
What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
Hey Y'all,Von Schweikert Audio. I have a freind, also an Audiogoner, that was a big Maggies fan. He now owns Von Schweikert DB-99s and he loves them. They are very easy to drive and, with the powered sub unit, you get all the bass you could want.....
