Von Schweikert DB-99 Owners


I have been considering the DB-99 with ribbon tweeter option to replace my Quad 988's. I have read that the speakers since they are very efficient may make the speakers sensitive to electrical noise. Currently I use a Richard Gray 12 plug power cleaner and use Audio Prism
plug ins as well and I currently have no noise whatsoever.
Does anybody have any problems with noise?

I had a hum in my system when I first got them. I found that the source was an improper ground connection in one of my dedicated lines. My old speakers were not efficient enough to have it show (about 88db). Now that I have fixed the ground contact, there is no noise. I do not use any noise filtering on the subs either.
