Service Von Schweikert?????
My phone rings, I answer, its Albert. I picked his brain for 45 minutes. He showed me reviews of VR33's with a Jolida amp like mine. He explained how he kept the price so low. I ordered a pair with the bi wire option which is $100 more per speaker... 
Service Von Schweikert?????
So Albert e-mails me and states that he has no VR33's to demo but gave me the e mail addy of a physician who just bought some. He says to contact this guy to go to his house and hear the speakers. He said this guy is amenable to having people come...
