Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99?



Does anyone own or heard this speaker? If so, please give me your impressions.

Also, what are the sonic benefits (if any) in a high efficency speaker over regular efficency?

Thanks

I had the opportunity to hear both at a dealer not too long ago. I assure you that after the 99s break in, they will be faaaar better than the VR4 Sr.

I agree with Ozzy on this one... The two speakers are not even close. IMO, the DB99s are one the best in their price class (I wish I could say the same about the 4 SRs). Once they have broken in, I think you will be quite happy.

I would gladly send a A-gon member a emailed picture of my dealer demo's in a custom ebony with the supertweeter module for posting on this thread. They are really special inside and out.

Hi Jack.

Could you send me a picture of the Ebonys with the supertweeter?

Ksroy, I just sent you the picture of my db's that I hope you'll have better luck posting than I. The pics don't do them justice in reality but they'll give you a glimpse of the finish and supertweeter module. They are a sonic and cosmetic knockout! I'm using a Bel Canto SET 40 with KR Audio 845's and a modified APL/Esoteric DV50 (w/AKM dacs). Also, I had Analysis-Plus re-fit plugs on a pair of Pwr Ovals to fit the 99's and am not using stock cords. Also,, Paul Garner's Verbatum speaker cables are used to wonderful effect.
