A rare offering of this award winning, bi-amped, ultra-versatile, full-range loudspeaker system. This pair is in excellent condition, crated and ready to be shipped.
This speaker has earned The Absolute Sound 2015 Golden Ear Award and the 2016 Editor's Choice Award. Reviewer, Greg Weaver, purchased his review pair and declared them to be his "new reference."
Driver compliment includes two custom made 8" honeycomb ceramic cone woofers, one 6.5" honeycomb ceramic cone midrange driver with Kevlar backing, and a front-firing advanced metal dome tweeter using a Beryllium substrate with ceramic damping layer to eliminate harsh sound quality. The rear of the speaker includes Von Schweikert's 75mm ribbon tweeter driven by a Neodymium magnet system. This rear-facing ribbon tweeter is part of Von Schweikert's Ambience Retrieval System. This system was developed to reproduce the spatiality of the concert hall. Level control allows the user to match the rear dipolar dispersion pattern and intensity to the rear wall, whether it is a hard reflective surface or softer, absorptive surface such as a curtain.
To enable the bass response to match any room, the VR-55 Aktive uses a 525-watt built-in woofer amplifier, requiring the customer’s existing amplifier to be used only to drive the midrange and tweeters. The custom-built amplifier was engineered by CIAudio and uses Hypex transistor modules along with an analog power supply to provide tight bass control over the woofer’s voice coils and cones. The transient response speed of our woofer system has to be heard to fully understand what has been achieved. This bi-amp technique allows anyone, in any room, to achieve superb bass depth (21Hz @ -2dB) and also enables matching of the bass level to the upper frequency ranges. Truly, a speaker for every room.
