..hey all you VSA sycophants, surely you've got something you're dying to talk about.  Ok I'll kick it off.  I've owned a brand spanking new pair of McIntosh MC601s for a week now.  They replaced a pr of 501s, that sounded great BTW but these 601s raise the bar significantly. My Annies never sounded like this...woohoo.  That is all...over and out..

..board IS deader than disco...guess I should proof read my titles...can't edit them...grrr

Why can't you edit the Subject (Title) of your posts?

[Brad]

You have to edit it from the first post

OK Gavin and everyone else,

Christmas is coming! Here's my want list. A brand spanking new pair of 55's in Piano black would be great! Also, how about a pair of the Ultra speaker cables to go with them!

I wish you'd find a better title.  You make it sound like nothing's happening when quite the opposite is the case at VSA and Endeavor.

Anyway, I have a full loom of Ultra interconnects and shotgunned speaker cables ordered and in process at Delphi.  I got to hear what a full loom of Ultra can do the last Axpona in the Endeavor room... quite amazing.  I promise to post what it does for my system.

Na, just leave it as is! I like it... So strange, I had to click. Obviously an autocorrect issue there

We have crated the VR-111's and they will be leaving for their new home.  We will miss them.

Holy shit those are beautiful speakers. See.....there IS always something going on over at VSA.

Very nice, but you just know that after someone sees this photo they will ask for a pair of VR-1111's.

If you don't have a spare half million handy and an auditorium, I'd recommend the VR100XS-- a close resemblance to the VR111 before the steroids.  However, those VR111's are a new summit for VSA.  Congrats.

Hello Fellow Audiophiles,

Please see my latest article posted here on AC about the technology of the VR-111XS, it is quite a feat of engineering.  This labor of love has taken three years and embodies the latest thinking on sound wave reproduction.  Your can read what Robert Harley, the Editor of The Absolute Sound, has written about this system (along with a short treatise on my design studio and test equipment):

We welcome any questions you may have and I'll be happy to answer them, either here in this public forum or by private PM. 

As always,

Happy Listening!
