You'll be surprised to know (!) I've owned VS VR1s. I wouldn't go chasing after them if I was you. The Ref 3as however are an extremely high class speaker.

If you want something similar sounding to Vr1s, check out Audiovector stand mounts.Think it was the S3s i had for a bit.. beautifully made too.

Thanks for the recmmendation.

I have indeed bought the ref 3a mm de capo i speakers.

I hope yo try an el84 valve amp or Marinate pm4 o similar with them.

Any recommendation s for something not too expensive that might shut tnrse?

The maple almost put me off.
But in the flesh its very nice and a nice change from the usual dark tones.

Wonderful speakers. Well done Phillip on getting these. As we discussed over PM I had a pair previously and loved them. Seriously thought of getting these.

Yours look superb and the stands fit the bill neatly.
