Do you guys know where can i test out Von Schweikert speaker in Malaysia?

very interested in their VR35 speaker but havent had the chance to audition this model. I have heard of their previous VR4 and vr5 anniversary and its very nice. hopping to get similar sound signature for their smaller speaker.

Perhaps you can consider mINT,

to me, they have really good bang of the buck, but most importantly, they sound really really good.

I particularly like the small footprint which I can hide it inside the cabinet.

well......its FOC to try to separate the cables

first.....try to make sure the power cable and signal cables (interconnects and speakers) are not overlapping each other.....
if they have to....try to use some wood material to separate them apart

second.....some speaker cables are abit long.....don't coil them up

arrange it into snake pattern

some say elevating the speaker cables removes floor noise....i tried that on my transparents and it sounded horrible

but for my XLO Signature last time, they were better being elevated

again...there's no right or wrong....just make sure you don't listen too long as ear fatigue can affect your judgement

i get ear fatigue in hard listening within 1 hour

easy listening and music enjoyment...couple of hours

    At least someone takes the time to coil up their wires
Mine I don't dare to venture into the space behind my setup

AR CD6? What brand? By the way, are those cd player remove distortion from bad recording source? Speakers will sound less harsh over time?
