Two pairs of the "small" ones are up and running and Mr.Big is definitely going to be up and running way before November
Unfortunately, these guys won't make it to the Nov Hi-Fi Show. Mandarin just doesn't have the elevator space nor the ceiling height for the 11. Besides there is no way the owner will lend us his VR-11s even if it did.
Expect the Asian launch of the VR-4SR Mk3 this November. No bulilits this time but as big as the room can handle. Guest appearances by Accuphase, Kubala-Sosna and Kuzma are most likely. There will be Lamm of course. This year's theme is "Steam Punk"
We want to ride the balance between aspirational and attainable this year, so it will be VSA's current VR Series entry level loudspeakers. We haven't brought SRs to the show for 4 years now. It's about time that the cornerstone of Von Schweikert Audio got its due once more.
As for Lamm, well there is no bottom of the line. Each amplifier model is designed with no compromises depending on intended use and not to fit any particular pricepoint or market segment. 3 models will match well with the SRs we haven't decided which one to bring yet but we're leaning towards TUBES again this year.
I must admit we were not looking forward to the show this year but now that the SR Mk3 has been released. Hmmmmmmm. Our blood is beginning to flow again.
