yes, I was wondering if the vr1's needed a particularly speedy sub

Nick - got a package heading your way, thanks again for the loaners

If you are thinking of the 2qW, it has three drivers.  I have one and it is an amazing sub.  Integrates very well.  I usually recommend it when people ask about subs, but If I were starting from scratch, I'd probably get the VSA sub just to have everything in the same family.

3 drivers...thats right.
I knew it had more than one.  I like that design plan.  Just makes sense.

Yup.  Instead of one big driver with lots of mass that is difficult to control, three tightly controlled low mass drivers with the same effective surface area.  It really is an amazingly tight sounding design.  The integration method is sweet too.  Relieving the main speakers of the low end reproduction really cleans up the mid and upper bass from the main cabinets.

Everything's hooked up right now and I am commencing in the break in period - 300 hours according to VSA.  I've got "You Could Be Mine" on repeat - let's see how many times I can hear it.  I'll post some pics once I clean up the room and add a new audio stand.  These things won't be fully broken in for a few months...
