the buyer is a longtime user of VR4 SR, so is familiar with VSA sound.. but yeah, very happy with the upgrade as the VR 5 is a much better speaker.

searching for the next speaker an be agonizing, as most popular brands have waiting times. Let's say I decided to go with Vr 55, the lead time is 6 to 9 weeks. Other brands actually quote as much as 6 months. Some products are expensive because it takes a lot of work to put them together. The front baffle alone of Vr 55 has numerous parts that need to be CNC cut and bonded together using numerous custom jigs.

working on it  ;D

but the process is painfully slow because the contact person for my #1 choice is very slow in responding to all forms of communication.

Magico S1 finally setup and burning in. Currently being driven by Lamm M2.2. Also new in the system is the Yale firmware update for the PS Audio Direct Stream Dac . I should compare USB w/ Uptone Regen Amber vs  the I2S connection. The PSA DSD still keep on improving, amazing DAC.

I also intend to try the Aurender X100/X725 Integrated amp combo with the S1 soon, and maybe with the 1000 watts W4S Stereo amps.. Exciting times indeed, kaya lang medyo busy because I am helping my wife setup her new store.

Thanks guys. Nice to play music on this system again. I think it was last March pa huling nagamit ang most of the equipments on this system, before I sold my Von Schweikert Vr5 Anni. That combination sounded so good, I hope Magico synergize as well with the rest of the system.

Coincidentally, I took a hiatus from audio (I mean playing around with equipments). I slipped on the ice and had a bad concussion last April and one of the side effects is my energy level nosedives in the afternoon, as in diretso tulog pagdating sa bahay. I am slowly recovering, but our yard and vehicles still don't get the work & attention they usually get from me (or maybe too much pesbuk  ^-^ ). But I was never really away from music - my second system in our living room is playing music almost all day everyday, hindi nga lang ako ang operator. My wife plays music for her auntie who is staying with us. She loves to listen to music, a good therapy for her dementia.

this is shocking. eto na siguro ang pinakamagandang setup sa buong pinas... :)

congrats sir!


salamat. as Jen said, I am based in Canada (pero pusong Pinoy pa rin kaya dito sa PDVD & WS nakikisali). Most of my audio buddies and gurus are Pinoys.

Maraming Phil. based systems na much more advanced than mine, karamihan lang sa owners ay hindi na nagsi share sa forum - maybe for security purposes or they're just too busy with their lives. JackD has really good stuff like CH Precision, VSA, Techdas, Lamm and so on, in a room that's to die for. To my knowledge, a pair of $500K speakers are landing on Philippine shores soon.

The S1 is showing a lot of potential early on, a little undersized for my room that's why I augmented it with my VSA Shockwave V15. I still have to tweak the speaker placement a little bit and recalibrate the digital room correction.
