Von Schweikert VR 1's. Frank
Sorry doug but I have to disagree in my situation and from what I've heard in the last 30 years. The Kestrels in my room with my tube integrated and cdp/tt are my favorie speakers in a long long time. They don't do audiophile well but do music very very well and disappear. There's something just right with them to my ears. The guy that I bought mine from said that the only speaker he thought was better musically (and he could afford to buy pretty much anything he wanted) was the Spendor SP100 (which he owns) and he had a second pair of Kestrel HRs that he said he would never get rid of. An outstanding speaker especially for the price they are going for used.
