holy thread retrieval batman!
how did this one get dug up??
hahaha.. was just gonna add my 2 cents worth on VAF/ Crix (being an Adelaide local and an acoustic engineer with an interest in loudspeaker design) before I realised the thread was very old.
For anyone looking at high end audio, I'd highly recommend giving VAF a serious look. They were (dare I say are still??) all available as a DIY kit, and great value for money.
Krix on the other hand are predominantly a commercial cinema loudspeaker supplier, where they dominate the market. Haven't seen any of their home range, but if they're anything like their commercial siblings, they can't be far behind.
Actually, just had a look at the VAF website and prices seemed to have jumped significanytly (from ~10 years ago ). For those prices, I'd also recommend looking at the Sonus Faber range (concerto's for bookshelves or the grand pianos - they look great and sound wawesome).
Luv my VAF
I wondered if there were any hi fi enthusiasts on here I got all excited when I started reading this until I saw the date I was going to ask jase if he wanted to buy some Linn equipment (check it out - Linn - hi-fi, home theatre and multi-room systems)
I have an active system which I brought over with me from the uk when I emigrated, also a passive system. I may have 3 power amps and a pair of speakers up for grabs.
Hmm Linn, now you are talking quality.
VAF is a good speaker but definately not Hi-Fi.
Its more or less a copy of the Soniques in many ways and they in turn have ex Duntech people running the show.
Duntech won many awards for worlds truest speakers etc.
For Hi-fi shops, try audio connection on Parramatta rd Sydnet.
Do a google serch and check out their website.
Speakers up to $250,000. Its the biggest Hi-Fi shop in the southern hemisphere.
I bought my Stello Oracle Amp and CD player plus a set of balanced interlinks from them.
Here in SA I bought some Dynaudio speakers.
I like it very much but like everything, we all hear things differently and love things for different reasons.
So each to their own but lets not label everything High Fidelity that just isn't.
My best mates reckons his yamaha set up is as good as it gets. Well, let him be.
Give audio connection a look, you will be amazed.
Are you serious???
What do you think of the place apart from being totally unorganised, there is some amazing stuff.
Next time i will drop you a line.I just can't afford to go in there.
Spend $1400 on pair of cables last time.
Oh well.
