Just pulled the trigger on a pair of the VR33's - can't wait to hear them.

Will be using them in a small room initially until I move in a few months.

Hopefully all of the initial comments pan out. Love to hear more comments from the beta testers.

Just a quick update. The tweeter is really opening up and is SMOOTH as hell. I was playing the new live "Download" of Paul Motian "Lost in a Dream". The cymbal work was so real. Smooth and detailed. As if the drum set was in the room. The tweeter/Midrange combo is a match made in heaven. I was playing some Jan Garbarek and on some speakers his sorprano sax can get fatiguing. Well, on the VR-33's it smooth and not harsh. I listened to his music for a couple of hours. Just beautiful. I do have to say that I use tube amps and preamp and I'm sure that helps. But I used the same amps and preamp with my VR-4jr's and didn't get a 1/64 of the results. And I really enjoyed my VR-4jr's. I still can't get over how big the soundstage is and how percise the images are!! I have to constantly pick my jaw off the ground, they are that good.

Dear Darth Audio,

You are making lots of us very curious.
I looked at your system, which I find very interesting.
Since "streaming audio" gets very popular I would like to see some pictures from your complete audio-system. As you told already you are not a 'great photographer', you might find a friend to help you with the pictures.

Thanks already.

How thick did you apply it to the speaker baffle? :scratch: I've always heard it needs to be at least 1/4"... :lol:

Darth my boy, you could be a card-carrying audio reviewer!  The Absolute Sound guys down a fifth before pushing GO.  :o :lol:

(I wonder if that would be a 5th of absolute alcohol? :scratch:)

I like that saying!! I was jamming to the Blu Ray DVD of Return to Forever!! I saw their reunion tour in Chicago @ the Chicago Theater. Great Show. The sound and soundstage were out of this world!! I felt like I was back @ the Chicago Theater!! Can't wait for these guys to release a new album!! If memory serves, they should be recording sometime this year??
