Speakers For Rock
I would go with the VR -4 jrs. I had them in house for about 4 months and was surprised how they play all music well. Rock came out the best and sounded deep and rich at extreme high volumes. No brightness at all compared to other speakers at twic... 
Bass Response on Dunlavy SC-IVa
I never got the bass right either. On the IVA or the V's. They are one huge speaker which makes it a lot more difficult to get right and live with 
Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.
I just got a loaner pair of the vr-4 jr's. I just sold a pair of piega c-10 ltd and am looking for a new speaker. These little gems are amazing. Great bass and resolution. These are the most musical speakers I have had in my room. At 4k they have ...

Piega's 10's and look no further 
Help My AC line voltage is 128V
I had the power plant for 2 weeks and didn't care for the sound. I believe you can still get a 30 day trial period so you can check for yourself. I do like the idea of the Monster displaying the constant changes in the voltage. I sometimes have im... 
Help My AC line voltage is 128V
I blew a few tubes on my Manley gear. Their engineers suggested voltage stabilization. I am using a Monster av2000 and a Hydra 8 for conditioning. I haven't had a problem yet and the sound is improved. 
First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No
Manley Steelhead and the Vac bested the supratek in my system. Went with the Manley. The Vac was a lot more than I wanted to spend 
Best of your best - Your Top 25
I moved out of the Philthadelphia are about 25 years ago. They had the best vinyl store I have ever been in,THIRD STREET JAZZ. Tower Theater Concerts, Stars, Bijou Cafe. Haven't been back since. City could use an enama 
Sorry, yet another
You can upgrade your speakers through Von Schweikert. It costs $2500 to turn your speakers into the 7's. Go to the website and check the Mods. I believe the new 7's go for $25000. 
Shunyata Hydra
I have everything plugged into the Hydra 8. The difference from other is that it seems to relax any glare and produces better dynamics. I have had the Ps audio and Tice and sold them upon hearing the 8. It makes an unbelievable upgrade 
Subwoof Piega P10s for bass Quality, not Quantity?
Sean is right try the nordost or hms as they have a quicker and leaner sound. Ironically I have found the p-10 and c-10ltd to have the bass on the lean side and have had to position them to get the most out of it. Great speakers none the less 
Jena Labs - Any experience?
Agree with above on the Piega's. The Jena's seemed a great match with the ribbon. More dynamic,detailed and transparent. I am using the symphony's. 
Power regulation/conditioning-PS Audio or Monster?
I am using the Hydra 8 plugged in the Monster AVS 2000. Really helped make the music more enjoyable and smoother. The AVS 2000 keeps the voltage at 120 and stops major fluctuations. A definite must in my area. I had the ps 300 about 2 years ago an...

Does unequal speaker wire length matter?
I have seen it done with transparent cable with Wilson speakers. There was no change in sound with this particular system.
