Virtue would like to give you a huge thank you and hug, not only for driving a million people down to our room to hear the exemplary V2s, but for allowing us to hear what you hear, which can't be done without speakers like yours.
We've been building amps for 3 years now on the basis that batteries didn't matter that much. And with even high-resolution systems this presumption has been largely validated -- our little amps sound "great" with the upgraded 130w supply on most sytems out there (one customer runs his $60,000 speakers on them).
On Saturday night you educated Michael and me. Our after-hours audition on the Venues revealed everything. Every little pimple in our equipment, especially in the switching supplies, was exposed. I consider that 30 minutes we spent together the highlight of my audio career. Anyone who has an opportunity to buy a set of Venues: buy them.
We were of course equally humbled by Gary's genius on the tubes. Thankfully there are a handful of speakers that need more than 15 watts, otherwise, I'm not sure we could keep building amps in good conscience. Gary's work is breath-taking.
Guys, thank you humbly.
