Thanks for the various feedback. I read that the VR's should be bi-wired, Albert himself has a whole analysis on the VS website. I was very happy with the Satoris and Zen jumpers, they sounded better then anything else I have ever used in my system. With that in mind I saw the Oval 9's here at a decent price, I read they were supposed to be transparent, with slight emphasis on the bottom end. Being they were used, I assumed decent break in. I actually checked and re-checked my connections, but the mid's suffered. I've realized that cables are so incredibly system dependent its almost impossible to assume what the sound will be from system to system. I bought a separate Satori run, with bananas, I currently have spades. That will give me a true bi-wire opportunity.
Biwire oval 9's, single Zen Satori - surprised
I have to say I'm shocked. I have a pair of Von S vr3's and love them. I was using the satoris non bi-wired with satori jumpers. I bought a pair of oval 9 shotguns and was so convinced they would be that much better I Put my zens up for sale. Wow!! I so wanted them to be better, but the mids were muddy it sounded like a small radio. I tested, checked and tightened. I put my zens back and aaaaahhh. What the heck happened? I thought biwired speakers should be biwired! Is the quality that different.? I took the zens off sale and look for the 9's. What do you all think. Thx
