Last 4 Years - Votes for Best Speaker Ever Heard
I believe he is more accurate than the republicans. Nice tallying hi hifi 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Von Schweikert VR-7 SE 
New Von Schweikert Models
I am using Manley 250's and the Steelhead pre. Audio aero CapitoleII and Nottingham Hyperspace turntable. They are the best sounding speakers by a good margin over what I have been listening to over the past 15 years. Other top end speakers I have... 
New Von Schweikert Models
I received the new VR -7 SE about 10 days ago. They are absolutely phenomenal. I have a fairly large room (32x20) and for the first time a speaker can fill the room with big dynamics and yet have delicacy and opulence. They are a must hear. 
Dunlavy SC-V and Accuphase
I had the 5's for a couple of years and had a hard time getting the sound right. A large well damped room is a must for these monsters or they will sound bright and boomy. Merge03 is correct about getting the most power to drive them. At the very ... 
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 ... 
Ribbon tweeters/speakers recommendations Please
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.
