Hi there,
thanx again for your post. Von schweikert really seem to be an alternative, in Germany they will be for sale from next year. Might wait and see what the German retail price will be, though, concidering transport, tax, etc it will undoubtably be higher than in the US.

I even think that the von schweikert look better than the wilsons. Can`t believe that they are so unknown on the european market.

Whats a good place in the US to check out von schweikert sales prices or maybe even used models (i believe that the vr 4 sr has been developed for a while and that there are different, older models that might good to).

Otherwise i will probably end up going for the N 801 (love the 380mm (15 in) bass).

I`m not sure what i`ll be driving them with.

I`m concidering going for a Musical Fidelity a 308 pre (have the Poweramp and it`s wonderful) with a Nelson Pass x 150.5. CDP at the time audiomeca obsession II but i just might swap that for a metronome cd2-v.

PS audio are a good choice too. I`ll have to try things out a bit...

Greetings,
Chris
