I too have no affiliation with Vaughn speakers and concur with others who have stated Jim is a really nice guy who loves to share his knowledge and experience with others.
I have owned Vaughn Zinfandel speakers for 5 years now and just can't part with them. I have heard a lot of other speakers that just don't present as well as these. I have used a Cary V12r, Cary sei300 F1 and a Bryston bst solid state amp, all with great results. I now use a Triode Corp TRV845se which really makes them sing. My pair do not have the powered subwoofer, and I have not had a need for one since I can place these in the room in their preferred sweet spot. There are a fair amount of Vaughn speakers out in the audiophile world and rarely if ever do you see them come up for sale. My next pair will likely be new Vaughns.
