I had an refurbished rebuilt VR7 mk2. But Just sold them when I received my new Von Schweikert Audio Ultra VR55 active. .  These are stunning and the base is *incredible*.  I told my wife to bury me in the crates.   
New Class D amplifiers
I just bought D-Sonic ma3 3000s 1500 watts per channel at 8 ohms.  I have only just got them but the background noise is silent.  Black.  Can't hear a thing.  I have only had them on for 2-3 hours so far but I think they sound very nice.  I bought...

Has anyone listened to the RBH active SVTR-active towers?  They get glowing reviews at Audioholics.  I am considering them myself at this time but I can't seem to find others that have heard them.

No the list for the Stella is 150K  270K for the Utopia and 75K for the Maestro.  I found a dealer that would sell a new pair Stella for 120K.  These are all the new EVO models I am being told.  
Looking for Focal Stella amplifier suggestions
I have a chance to purchase a demo pair of Focal Stella for 64K Dealer says they re 1 year old in mint condition.  I am not able to see or hear them in person. Anyone think this is a good price?  I could really use some advice, thanks

Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?
I own a retail business and so just to chime in about cost to build a speaker. Its nearly impossible to generate a profit in a store front reselling items if you don't charge at least double what you pay for it. Not to mention that Harbeth may als...
