Von Schweikert synergy

"The fact that they were chosen to be shown together says something as well."

What? That the dealer is the only VSA dealer in Canada and one of only 5 BAT dealers in Canada? Makes perfect marketing sense. Doesn't mean it's perfect synergy, but I will admit they sounded good. I forgot what the amp was, but the pre was the 31SE and a D5 (can't remember if SE or not) as source.

Drew_w,

I don't understand why your jc1's run so hot in low bias???
Mine are just warm to the touch, I can hold both hands on the heat sinks with no problems.
Are yours in a cabinet or out in the open?

Now high bias is another matter entirely.

Mine are out in the open. It's really strange since I've heard that they should run ok temps when on low bias, but for the upcoming months it's going to make life quite uncomfortable without blasting the air conditioning 24/7.

I use a Plinius 9100 integrated with VR-2's and it's a great combo - big, articulate sound, great bass slam and smooth detail.

I use Consonance 211's with the DB-99's. Very good synergy. Albert uses them with the 99's in the shop among others.
