Vortex VR 35 present at High End Society in Munich

ceedee · « **on:** 28 Apr 2010, 07:26 pm »

Hello All,

The show in Munich is coming closer every day.
After a lot of calls and emails the Vortex VR 35 will arrive, just in time to bring them to Munich. Due to the Iceland Vulcano Ashcloud a large shipment of VSA speakers was stocked at LAX for more than a week. Now planes can fly again so this night the shipment will arrive Amsterdam finaly.

As soon as I have setup the system in Munich I will show some pictures.

The VR 35 will been driven by the new KR Kronzilla SDi 35, with a very special feature, a USB input to connect a digital source like a laptop direct into the amplifier. I just received this unit and connected the apm to the Unifield One. The sound is spectacular, clean and musical. I found a Swiss internet radiostation playing whole day jazz. Very nice music.

More info soon.

Hey Cor,

Nice looking amp but those tubes are on the smallish side

I only see SE inputs...no XLR?

Hey Gavin,

Here the tubes are called the revival of the milk bottle.

XLR input is on demand.

Hi Cor,

May I know how much is the SDi 35? I noticed you used them to demo with most VonSchweikert speakers at hifi shows. I don't think they sell in Malaysia but would be a good opportunity to carry them. The VR-33 is amazing and I'm sure the VR-35 will be a BIG surprise to all.

All the best in the show...

Dan.

Hi Tan,

The KR Amplifers are growing in popularity around the world.
KR is based in the former plant of Tesla Industries in Praghue, the only place where the huge T 1610 tube can be made.
This huge tube is very spatial, clean and dynamic. Music will be very natural.
We use them for more than 12 years now.
About pricing. Next monday we will have final calculations since we don'n have al the invoices of costs yet. The SXI, (the bigger brother 2x50wrms) we sell at € 14.590,00. Our products are priced all inclusive. In USA prices are always ex tax and ex transport. So the SDi 35 would be a bit less.

Hello All,

All 15 boxes of the VSA shipment just arrived in our warehouse, finally.
Thanks to Ron and Abdelbar from Aramex AMS and Richard from Pilot LA.

The Vortex VR 35 SE, dressed in silvergray, looks very beautiful.

Now we are preparing the Marble topcaps to fitt exactly.
Tomorrow I will leave to Munich and Wednesday I will send some pictures from the booth.
You at AC - VSA will be the first looking to the Vortex VR 35 SE.

Maybe I have a nice surprise from the Show.
Hope I will succeed to fix what I have in mind.

Stay tuned.

Thanks Jack,

It was a tough time to prepare this show.
Half of the 'freightworld' was in delay due to the Iceland Dust.

Took a lot of energy.

Last night we made a final setup to see how the match is going to be.
Wow I can tell you this. The combination I figured out is really spectacular.
The VR 35 SE did remind me to the VR 10 ! Huge soundstage fast and dynamic and over all very musical. I only had a few hours to listen since we had to pack the whole system te be ready for the trip.

The booth we are in is located in the big hall no 4 which is about 10.000 m2.
I predict, the VR 35 can fill the entire hall with fine music.
Send some pictures as soon as possible.

Stay tuned

Cor

Hey Jack,

Just arrived in Munich at midnight after a 1000 km trip full of trafic.

Yes that is what came into my mind at first. I remember them from a audition at one of our client's home. Big Sound Huge Stage. If you close your eyes you would believe you live in an other house.

Hold on for one day more to get the first pictures online.
