| Any previous Wadia users?? Or did everyone move? Somewhat off topic but is anyone using the 581 to drive amps direct?If you are do you hear any benefit?The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of going with the 581 and driving my VTL's direct.Any thoughts? | |
| Allman Brothers Fillmore East on Vinyl I have the Capricorn and a copy of the Nautilus Super Disc and I found the Nautilus to be the better copy,in any case still one of the greatest live recordings ever.steveboeck | |

| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???

| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? I replaced a set of Quad 989s and a pair of subs with the VR4 SR MK2 and I don't miss the Quads even a little.The MK2 are great speakers. | |
| Von Schweikert Sub VRS/1 I am using a pair of the vrs/1 with quad 989s,the room is 28by20 and they are completely seamless ,they fill in the lower octaves and mate in a very unobtrusive way with the very fast quad panels. Steve Boeck. | |

| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? And here I thought this was a forum for audiophiles to excange ideas and share knowledge,not free, crass advertising by dealers trying to push their latest product line.At least now I know I will never buy anything from the previous poster. | |
| Quad 988 / 989 reliability ?? The quad 988,989 is essentially the same speaker as the 63,they all use the delay line design,cheap circuit board and electronics,I know I have taken them apart.Quad is now owned by a chinese company,but they are still made in England.They have ne... |
