How is your system doing now? I would like to know how it sounds, and especially how your VMPS speakers do in comparison with the Apogee Divas that you owned before.

Its was in the late 60s- Klipschons in the corner, TWO pairs of Bose 2201 speakers configured to be 1/4 spheres along the wall between the K horns, (Bose had their own amps) K-horns driven by Marantz 9s, 7C preamp, 10B tuner, a Crown 842 tape deck, Magenecord tape deck, Thorens 124 w/SME arm and Ortophon MC and a Thorens 224 w/Thorens arm and Ortophon cart. Most important was a big rack of 10" original tapes of recording sessions from classical venues all around the country (an engineer's private stock.)

This is my biginers system...more to come.
