| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? I've had mine a little over a month and couldn't be happier. My speakers the VR 5 SE's are a little hard to drive on the bottom end. My previous amp the Phi 110 although great with the mids and high's fell short with the low end. I added a Spectro... | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room Try the VR5SE, It worked for me in a 17X12 room. From top to bottom the most musical speaker I have heard. | |
| Dynaudio C4 vs Von Schweikert VR5SE Have to travel Don't know much on the C4's, but I owned the Temptations for two years and now own the VonSchweikert VR5's.First off they are both great speakers but in my room which is rather on the small side I prefer the V's. You are doing the right thing by a... | |
| rothwell attenuators..effect on sound? I am using them now and highly recommend them. I bought them to reduce some excess gain and have more range on my volume control. I was running the Volume at 7 on a scale of 6 thru 6, now it runs between 8 and 9 at comfortable listening levels I f... | |
| Amp choices for biamping Von Schweikert VR-4jr's? If you can swing it go for the V's, "They are that good" if you can't biamping and changes in speaker cable will also improve the 4 jrn's. Keep the DNA 225's even if you go with the V's it will drive them by itself until you are ready to biamp and... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5SE Moemoney,My Vac has a gain of 38db, the Spectron has a gain of 28db.From my Pre. I run two sets of cables one set to each amp. If left alone there would be a mismatch in volume the tube amp would play louder than the Spectron. To equal this out I ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I second The Vac Renaissance Signature Mk II, I have owned about 5 or 6 top of the line tube pre's in the last 20 years and nothing comes close to this especially if you have a T.T. the phono stage is second to none. Can't help with SS although I ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5SE Courtvision21 I agree with you 100%, In my earlier post I mention I'm now biamping using the Vac Phi 110 for the top and the Spectron MusicanIII for the bass bins I think the Spectron delivers 700 or 800 watt's into 4 ohms. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5SE Asradict, Sorry for the delay but I've been real busy. I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. The sound of the VR-5? From top to bottom fantastic! Right out of the box I noticed they were the clearest speakers I have ever heard, the high... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-5SE I have had mine since May and couldn't be happier, from top to bottom they are wonderful speakers. I'm using a Vac Phi 110 in triode to drive the top and a Spectron Musician III on the bottom. I found this to be the best although using either amp ... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Blindjim, I have the VR5 SE's and just finishid biamping them, I have a Vac Phi 110 driving the tops and a Spectron Musician III driving the bottoms. Was it worth it? Absolutely! I love the Vac amp but it just didn't have the bottom end I wanted.I... | |

| Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........ I worked as a stagehand at Radio City Music Hall and had the pleasure of doing all of his concerts. He was the best of the best and the closest way to capture him as he sounded on stage is with vinyl, believe me I tried and cd's don't come close. ... | |
