as good as the vs is, its no match for the tc50. the spica will improve even more with another amp/receiver....the tc50 is a classic small speaker. it has yet to meet its match in midrange or soundstaging without dropping an awfully lot of money.
Is VonSchweikert VR-1 good upgrade from Spica TC50
I'm thinking of replacing my Spica TC-50's with something that shares it's strong points (imaging, sounstage, vocals, natural timbre) but has better bass, highs, and dynamic capability. Right now I play through a vintage Fisher 400 tube reciever(which I'm thinking of replacing with a Jolida102-B - any amp suggestions?) and fronted by a CAL Sigma II DAC. I listen to rock(soft, acoustic), jazz, blues, folk and a little classical. I have not heard the VR-1's but from reading it seems like they may be a good upgrade. Please comment. All advice, suggestions, and opinions are welcome. Thanks for looking.
