| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Hi again,Perhaps re-itterating my mix of music may help. It is mainly new age (Adiemus, Vangelis), some light classical, light rock (Cranberries), and especially female vocals (Norah, Diana Krall, Katie Melua) etc. No blues/heavy jazz, no big ense... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Hmmm, I am not sure really. I know they are assembled there to reduce costs, but all the component are European/American and it is overseen by VSA representatives. The Usher Audio is completely made in the east and are meant to be one of the most ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Allright, I am leaning more toward the VR4-Jr's. Just wanted to make a final plea :) if anyone has perhaps had the chance to hear BOTH the VR4-Jr and the Usher CP-6381 and can make some sort of comparison (perhaps some dealers who sell both?) that... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Hi There,Haven't made up my mind quite yet :) It is still a debate between the VR4-Jr's and the Usher Audio CP-6381. Both have gotten good reviews and backing, now I am trying to gather real-world experiences in particular if anyone has managed to... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed I currently have an Electrocompaniet 75W amp. Future upgrade depends on the speaker. For the Usher's I would add an Electrocompaniet power amplifier and use the ECI-3 as the preamp. For the VR4-Jr's I would most likely biamp using the ECI-3 for th... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Thanks for the response guys! I do understand that the VSA is a fantastic speaker especially at its price point. Just wanted to check if anyone has perhaps also heard the Usher CP-6381. Any opinions on it, in particular relative to the VSA.Thanks,X | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Not possible. As mentioned before I am limited in terms of availability.X | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Hi There,Unfortunately as mentioned I am limited in terms of availability and currently these are the choices I have :(Anyway, the Ushers are $3400 and the VSA' $4000.X | |
| Amphion Xenon & Usher CP-6381: Comments?? Hi Guys,Thanks for the responses. Have you guys ever gotten a chance to hear the VSA VR4-Jr's? They have just come up and are available to me too. Would you recommend them or would you still prefer the Usher (Kehut) or Xenon (Kclone and stefan)??T... | |
| B&W N803 vs AP Tempo IIIi vs VA Beethoven??? Hi AVGURU,Thank you for the amazing reponse. It really helped clear up a few questions I had. I finally got a chance to test out the 803's properly and I really enjoyed them. Only problem is they are hellishly expensive here and will thus most lik... | |
| Best $3000 - $4000 loudspeaker? I unfortunately used the MA GR-60's for a while. Terrible IMO compared to others in that range. I would add to that list Vienna Acoustics Beethoven, B&W Nautilus 803's (used in that price range), Revel F32, Audio Physic Virgo. | |
| B&W N803 vs AP Tempo IIIi vs VA Beethoven??? Anyone have some opinions/advice? :)I hear the AP sparks today and was highly unimpressed. I am leaning more toward the N803 or Beethovens. How would you compare the two??Thanks,X | |
| Line conditioner or voltage stabiliser? Anyone else got some advice perhaps? The power cables are ready to go but unfortunately they have to be plugged into a low-quality hardware store extension. Is there any way to make a high quality extension to work with my country's electrical sys... | |
| Best combo - integrated amp/ speakers/$8,000 My current setup has worked out fantastically. It's the Monitor Audio GR-60's, powered by an Electrocompaniet ECI-3. If you have the funds available, you can even go one better and try the GR-60's with the Electrocompaniet ECI-4 (ECI-3's big broth... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k I had a problem with a fairly bright system, especially with the metal drivers of my Monitor Audio GR-60's. I too was looking for an integrated with a good deal of brunt and control but with warmth and detail. The Electrocompaniet ECI-3 was my dre... |
