Von Schweikert DB 99-ribbon add on tweeter

I am considering trying Tonian Labs ribbon tweeter with the 99's as it has gotten good reviews (6 moons)and is less expensive than VSA's.

Cooch,

Just call VSA- they are outstanding people and I am sure if you want a cloth grill they could make something work for you. For the cost of the tweeter a cloth grill is pennies. I am pumped to see a few more DB-99 owners. There are a few in the asylum, didn't know you three had the 99's as well. Good speaker- at a good price- a real gem. (Not a dealer just a happy listener)

Best

Tony

Cooch,

Good for you, let us know what/if they come up with something for you.

Saxman2- yes pics would be great if you could post.

Just hooked the 99's up to the consonance 211's and WOW they sound good. Will be getting the Droplet soon. I am currently committing a sin and using a $100.00 Apex carousel CD player that I had stuck away since college with them as a standby. Amazing but it still sounds fairly good. Certainly a tribute to the speakers and amps.

By the way, in case anyone is considering this we tried to use consonance CD-120 with an axiom passive pre and the volume gain was too great. To us didn't seem like a good mix.

Not trying to take over the thread but I am tweaking the speaker placement and was wondering where others placed them from the walls. Currently mine are 4.1 ft from side wall and 6.1 ft from back wall in a 15 ft wide room. Where have you all found the best placement for the 99's?

Delancy,

Sorry I should have specified this-- my figures are from the center of the woofer to the wall. Is the three feet you refer to from the back of the speaker or from it's woofer which would effectifly putit another foot aprox into your room?

Thanks
