Name your ultimate match up...

[J*E*Cole]

Receiver or AMP/combo and one source unit and two main speakers only... It's all about keeping it simple, and only name the mfg., not like, the model numbers and stuff, for example:

Halcro ampliflication with Wilson Audio speakers and a Meridian CD for the source.

Ummmmm!

[superpanavision70mm]

Gryphon Trident speakers powered by Gryphon Antileon amps and Gryphon Mikado CD player. I've heard this setup at a convention and was floored! Just think...it's only around $250,000.

You should hear the Poseidon or any big panel speaker then!!!

There is only one thing better then surface area, and that is more surface area ;-)

Although the speakers were VS-9se, and the source was DAT master tape. The DartZeel was overkill though, even with just a watt of power those speakers could shake the walls!

[drseid]

I think the DartZeels are used less for their wattage per se, moreso for their ability to handle difficult amplifier loads...

Yes, the VR-9s are also quite a speaker... They kind of reminded me of the VR-11s, but cut in half. One half of a VR-11 would be more than plenty for most folks.

I wouldn't mind either the Gryphon Trident or Poseidon's. I liked your idea Flo of using their reference for the bass panel.

Wilson WP7's
ARC mono's
Wadia transport/dac

or

VR11's
VAC Mono's
Meitner transport/dac

BTW, for those of you unfamiliar with the Von Schweikert's, they are 15hz-35khz (+/- 1) or 10hz-50khz (+/-6) with 99dB sensitivity. The specs aren't an exaggeration, trust me. Oh yeah, they only weight 693 lbs...each!

those speakers are just sick. 15hz-35khz+/- 1dB... that's plain nuts

Maybe nuts, but *oh* so good... :-)

You know that its not that hard to do right? Besides, at what distance and at what level....you guys can build something like that.

I feel like a kid in a candy store. Where to start? What to pick? There is too much that is too good.
