How is Audio Research's Retubing Services?
I have sent my VT100 MKII for an upgrade to a MKIII and they have received it on August 1. I am still waiting for them to call me for my credit card. They are slow in their repairs. I am hoping they do good work and for the wait they should.Kevyo

Ohm I speaker upgrade??
I also upgraded my subwoofers to the SBA models. Ohm says the new subwoofers will go lower than the previous model. You probably will have to ship the orginal subwoofers to Ohm so they can rebuild them. I love these speakers and they still sound n...
