Title: New Amplifier for Von Schweikert Ultra 11
Post by: CIAudio on 8 Nov 2016, 04:48 pm
As many of you know, we design and build the woofer amplifiers for many hi-end Von Schweikert Loudspeaker models.
Their new flagship Ultra 11 uses a new model with two 1000 watt sub amplifiers with independent controls for each woofer.
The giant rear plate also houses the rear ambient tweeters and auto-former level controls.
The Ultra 11 makes the VR-55 look tiny... quite a beast!

I know I put $295,000 in a book somewhere as emergency money but now I can't find or remember which book.   :duh:

You loaned it to me Steve but you can have the book back now.
And thanks, it really changed my life.

As long as you were able to get those enameled lava countertops and quintuple pane quartz windows for your remodel, that's all that really matters.

But that doesn't stop me from dreaming about how those CI-powered Ultra 11s would have transformed my 16' x 14' listening space.
