They are awesome!!!Gordon and Keith - those are my guys/dealer! Great looking install.
Greg has VR-55 's and the amps are Constellation Inspiration stereo's that he runs in a vertical biamp configuration. Greg will be upgrading to ULTRA 55'sThat must’ve been a lot of work, Leif! It looks like you did a great job!
What are the white boxes on either side of the VAC amplifier?
What speakers did Greg have prior to your arrival?
We were very careful and didn't really put our weight on the ampsWow, sitting on the Constellation amp which is sited on a Grand Prix stand...is a great idea if you want to break the stand...they are not designed for that kind of weight!

What will the Ultra 55s look like (and sound like), compared to the VR-55 Aktives?Greg has VR-55 's and the amps are Constellation Inspiration stereo's that he runs in a vertical biamp configuration. Greg will be upgrading to ULTRA 55's
The thing actually isn't bad at all. I thought it would be way worse when I saw it for the first time at RMAF but it runs pretty cool compared to some of the SS amps I've hadNice space heater btwn the spkrs LOL.
Inspiration brother. Which are no slouches by any means lol. They punch way above their price IMOThose look like Taurus Monos. I hope Greg tries the Ultras with them too. The Taurus' are great with the S5 Mk2 of a client's.
I think I'm going to sell my Centaur and Virgo 2 and get the Inspiration monos and pre for more budget oriented systems to showInspiration brother. Which are no slouches by any means lol. They punch way above their price IMO

Actually if you read the instructions that come with the stands, there is a very specific warning NOT to let the stand have any lateral movement at all under load. Therefore, if someone were to sit on the amp/stand and move slightly at all, good chance you severely damage the stand. As I stated, they are not designed for that kind of weight or action. How do I know...LOL. Friends with broken carbon fiber skeletons, but hey...go ahead use them as a seat.Actually, according to Alvin Lloyd, designer of the GPA stands, the stand itself will support as much as 10 times more than the amps weigh. The issue is getting Sorbothane dampers that can provide the proper isolation, not the mass load on the aluminum and carbon fiber.
