| High Powered Speakers? The big U-1, A-1 and M-1 Soundlab speakers can handle 750 to 1000 watts of power according to Dr. West, their creator. I have not had the opportunity to put that large an amplifier on my Soundlabs, but it would be nice to audition. | |
| Rrecommeded "loading" for a Benz Ruby? The answer depends on your phono stage, cabling and personal taste. I think Musical Surroundings (the importer) suggests 47K. Although that provides good results, I preferred 27K which lowered the distortion and smoothed out the high frequencies. | |

| Vandersteen VCC-1 Just goes to show that everyone's experience is different. I use the Vandersteen VCC-1 on top of a large rear projection Pioneer TV, just as Sdcampbell describes. My Vandersteen sits between Soundlab Ultimate Ones, so the description given by Mmow... | |

| Have you owned Sound Labs Electrostatics? Lrsky, Yes the bridged Classe CA-201 will drive Soundlabs with ease. Like others here I prefer tubes but the Classe is a good amp and with proper set up of the speakers you would have excellent sound. |
