VR-6

Close up view of the VR-6 midrange and treble unit.  Note the azimuth bolt in the side blades that allow for vertical height adjustment.  Quite a large adjustment is possible to assure optimum imaging and dispersion regardless of how close your listening position is relative to the speakers.  The speakers come equipped with removable grills that cover the midrange units only, leaving the tweeter fully exposed.  The acoustic felt located directly below the tweeter prevents diffraction from the "shelf" underneath the tweeter.  The set back enables true mechanical "time alignment" creating a seamless sonic presentation.

Close up view of the rear of the VR-6 midrange and treble unit.  The same driver is mounted on the rear of the cabinet that is also used as the front tweeter.    This driver on the rear however, is operated with a unique "ambiance derivation" circuit.  This circuit delivers the additional information necessary to complete the "Global Axis Integration Network", providing tremendous off-axis response.  This effect can be controlled by the spatial dimension control located on the rear of the cabinet, just above the binding posts.

Close up view of the VR-6 bass module.  The VR-6 is equipped with oversize brass "spikes" for maximum speaker cabinet to floor energy transfer.   The pictured brass "spike rests" are also included.  Note the solid Cherry hardwood on the top surface of the bass enclosure.  This provides a look of fine craftsmanship and detail.  The side blades are attached with high grade bolts that constrain layer "damp" the sides of the bass cabinet from unwanted resonance.  The twin Nomex and Kevlar woofers are in separate enclosures and vented to the rear of the cabinet.

Close up view of the top surface of the VR-6 bass module.  Milled beneath the Natural Cherry hardwood surface are three carbon fiber "discs", that support and isolate the midrange and treble unit from the bass module.  Both the carbon fiber cones, and the carbon fiber discs, are manufactured and supplied by Black Diamond Racing, the world's leading manufacturer of carbon fiber isolation devices for audio applications.  Due to the hardwood milling depth, the midrange module intentionally has only a small degree of lateral adjustment.  Irrespective of how truly "slick" the surfaces are when they mate, the "isolation" enables maximum clarity and resolution.

The VR-6 with the grilles on and the grilles removed.  Please notice the space between the midrange and treble unit, and the bass module.  This gap is the result of using the Black Diamond Racing carbon fiber cones, resting on the Black Diamond Racing discs.  This isolation provides the greatest clarity and resolution possible, far superior to any "single box" speaker designs.

Front and rear view of the VR-6. Note the large "trumpet style" flared vents.  This style vent allows for maximum airflow with minimum wind vent noise.  The distance between posts for bi-wiring or cable jumpers is 42".
