Breaking the $100k barrier - A new statement Loudspeaker for $50k

[es347]

Our newest model, the VR.thirty, was inspired by the design of the Ultra.seven, our $190,000 flagship. The result is an obtainable speaker that redefines what is possible at this price point.

Our design objectives were:

• Retain the hallmark qualities of our Ultra series.
• No comprises to build quality, cabinet design, drivers and crossover components, or internal cabling.
• Zero sacrifices in terms of bandwidth with or little to no loss in output.
• Offer a modest spouse-friendly footprint, enabling near Ultra-level performance that is ideal for small to mid-sized rooms.

..if the VR30 shares Ultra 7 genetics @ $50k it will be a huge success! Nicely done indeed Damon!

..hey there Jack..long time indeed. My Utra 7s are sounding pretty sweet. How are your 11s sounding these days?

They are great Gavin ol' buddy! Sadly my basement sprung a leak when we had a terrible monsoon that my backyard garden's active drainage system couldn't handle because even the pool overflowed. Not to worry, only a patch of flooring got wet and needs replacing. I decided to renovate since I want a brighter room anyway as I am now officially a senior golfer! Hello White Tees! LOL

Here's a clip taken by Shane from Aussie Audiophile when he visited us in Manila early last year.

Congratulations on your U7s!

I've delivered two pairs already. They slayed at our 2023 show!
