Description

Simple, cheap system that serves my needs. It sounds great to my ears, and fits well into my 13'x15' living room.

In the near future, all I can see as potential improvement would be a Speedbox to make 33/45 changes easier. Otherwise, I'm happy.

Oh, interesting. I'll have to look into the upgrade. At that price, you really can't go wrong!

I only ask because I own the C326BEE and the AQ jumpers did make a nice difference and my Harbeth's are revealing enough to tell me as I'm sure your Von Schweikert's are. My wife has the C325BEE and the jumpers are the same between the C325BEE and the C326BEE.

Thanks for the comments.

@Grimace, yes- the VR-1s are indeed more than capable in the lower freqs. I was so impressd with how deep and solid they can be with the right recordings.

@ Artk, the jumpers on this model are quite a bit beefier then the puny little square ones on the previous 320 and 325 NADS. Still, I might switch em out someday. I like those inexpensive little tweaks that actually make a substantial difference!

Nice and simple, I love it. Have you replaced the jumpers on your BEE. The AQ jumpers are a nice upgrade for $29. Juts have to give them time break in.

Those VR1s are a great little speaker. Over-achiever in the bass, if I recall correctly.
