Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly
Sorry for the delayed response. Life has been happening big time. I love these amps more than ever. I don't have anything negative to say about them. I believe to date they are some of the finest mono-blocks ever made and the value is stunning. 
Best Tube Pre-Amp under 4K
I own the First Sound MKIII tube pre-amp. I am considering replacing it but want to go up in performance and musicality but not in price. Has anyone owned the First Sound MKIII or high model in the First Sound and found something better? 
VR-5 Anniversary VS Sasha
I purchased an "upgraded" a pair of Von Schweikert vr-35's which are 8K retail and will say that they will compete with speakers in the 20K+ range and do it quite easily. They are very "musical', not sterile and overly detailed and have lots of th...

Chipbyrd I owned the D1's but now own the Von Schweikert vr-35's. I can provide some feedback if you like. 
Tyler Decade D1s
I owned the D1's and they were great performers. The type of speaker that plays above its price range. They are not in the same league as my Von Schweikert vr-35's but I really enjoyed them. If your interested in more concerning the Von Schweikert... 
Albert Von Schweikert VR-4
I own the Von Schweikert vr-35s (upgraded) and they are simply amazing. Albert makes incredible speakers and is a fine man. 
Any experience with Von Schweikert Master-Built?
I am going to jump in and share some thoughts as well. I have had several top name brands of cabling in my system as well as some of friends cables. If I listed them you would know them all. The Von Schweikert Master Built interconnects, speaker c...

Aqua,Have you decided on a speaker? I have a speaker in mind that might be what your looking for. 
Anyone else using the VonSchweikert vr35 speakers?

Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33
I have not heard either speaker. I own a modified pair on Von Scweikert vr 35 and they are simply stunning. Albert Von Schweikert builds incredible speakers! Call and talk to him, he is very personable.
