I went from Polk 2.3 SDA-SRS speakers to VS VR4SR's. I do not miss the bass of the Polks. The bass with the VRs is so much nicer: clear, good slam, balanced with the rest of the spectrum, and nuanced. It is plenty strong to form a great foundation for the music.
How to start assemble a system
Hi All,
New to this forum and would like some thoughts. I currently have a pair of Kappa 9s, Kappa 8s and Polk SDA-SRS. I'm driving the 9s with a pair of Denon POA-6600 for the lows and a pair of Sony's Vfet bridge mono for the highs. The system sounds very good, but the upgrade bugs bit me so I would like to sell all of my stuff and start a new system. My question is should I pick a pair of speakers first then the electronics or the other way around. I'm thinking of getting a used pair Von Schweikert VR4-SR, Legacy Focus or there is a nice pair of Infinity IRS Epsilon. Would these speakers sound better than what I have right now and how much better? I like almost any kind of music from hard rock to classical, jazz except Rap and hardcore country music. I like the 9s better than the Polks, the mid and highs and sound staging are a lot better then the Polks but the Polks are easier to drive and have much better bass. THanks in advance for your inputs.
