Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE

Grant will drive to any location in the lower 48 in his E46 M3 CSL to pick up that integrated. Any excuse for high speed fun.

I have an Onix SP3 integrated and absolutely love it. Based on my experience with AV123's customer service and Melody Australia's design and construction quality, the H6550 amp at $1995 is a great deal. The photos indicate point to point wiring which looks a bit more solid than my Onix SP3. I feel absolutely no need to upgrade to the H6550 since my SP3 provides all the volume and sonic quality I need in my small listening room.

Good Luck, Tvad!

hey grant... i think it's gonna be hard to beat your phi 110. i wish i could find a phi beta for 7500 too, dang that'd be nice. i still hold out that integrated as a final resting spot on my little (ha!) audio addiction. are the von schweikerts considered detail speakers, or more warmish speakers? i could never figure that out. i heard a pair with a spectron digital amp, and i thought it sounded really average. totally flat soundstage.
