12-07-08: Clio09You sabotaged my attempt to hear the amps out ofsour grapes, it seems.Tvad (Threads | Answers)I don't get that statement at all and it's the furthest thing from the truth. Any attempt to hear these amps is a business transaction be...

Better speakers than Von Schweiker VR4jr under 3k
Used VR4 Gen III HSE
