Topic: Speaker Tuning

[Jammin72]

Inspired by Nick's System thread I downloaded a manual for the VR-2's.


http://www.vonschweikert.com/manuals/manual_vr_2.pdf


There's a wealth of information about speaker and room tuning/placement included in the owners manual.

After reading it over I have a liking for the company and will definitely be auditioning their speakers in the future.


You folks should check it out!!

For archive purposes, here's the VR-4 Gen I/Gen II owner's manual.  It has the same information on fine tuning your speaker setup to your room.  I had to get them to email me this since I couldn't find it on the site.

Sorry, didn't realize this thread was for your benefit.  I do know that I looked far & wide on here & the web for a copy of the manual I posted.

Wasn't calling anyone out!! 

I just thought it was a great Manual and folks that haven't read it should.  I wouldn't have read it if not for reading about your experience with your new toys.


I particularly like the comment on high frequencies and Metal Heads!


I think VonSchweikert's technology really applies well to the type of recording and playback that many of us do.

Nick, I have my VR2s at about 9 feet apart and pointed straight back. They are about 2 feet from the back wall and 4 feet from the side walls. I sit about 8 feet in front of them. Haven't noticed much of a hole in the middle, but the soundstage is HUGE! YMMV though...

I also have mine spiked, but have not added any ballast yet. I am hoping to play around with buckshot once I get my floors refinished. I will report more once that is done (but may be a while)...
