from Direct - www.transcendentsound.com Summary: I'm compelled after only 3 days with these OTLs (new low noise version) to express that for my system, there can be nothing better. When I first auditioned the Von Schweikert VR-8s at Albert's factory, he had them connected to some really interesting tube gear and it blew me away. I bought immediately. Got home with them and connected to the Proceed AMP5 and was impressed. After breakin, still impressive and moving, but not the same experience as at Albert's. I guess I should've known, right?
Well, there is no comparison and these OTLs only have about 20 hrs on them so far!! Bruce's design and implementation simply get everything out that is there in the music. A great live recording, One Man's Blues, by the Jazz Maniacs (www.jazzmaniac.com) literally happens right there in my living room. Amazing. I know not much about all of the technicalities of audiophile jargon so this is a purely emotional response based on my experience. What else is there in the end? Get Bruce's book, build the units or not, enjoy the music! Strengths: Power, dynamic range, damping control, clarity, presence, this list goes on..... Weaknesses: Have found none so far
