    I already have all new drivers, tweeters, upgraded to Tl's. New VR3 Fortress mod with high grade posts, connectors, internal wires, & SDA cable. Trey is making that as we speak.

    Awesome. Get on the 800VA tranny, and you will be in absolute heaven compared to where you just came from. You can always jump to the next level whenever the next group buy happens.

    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    It's a dreadnought holiday today! I assembled and installed it last weekend but haven't had time to listen. My house is somewhat of a circus with 4 kids from 11 to 18. Wouldn't change a thing but listening time is rare these days. So ... I'm burning a vacation day and enjoying some tunes! The dreadnought lives up to the hype!

    Imaging and Soundstage - Not much more to add to DK's original reviews. He described it as more crescent shaped and thicker in the middle like an "M" if I recall. That's exactly what I'm hearing. Individual instruments/voices are more distinct. They went from over there to right there. Vocals are back a little further and that's a good thing in my system. They were a little bit in your face before and now they're just right.

    Bass - I expected more and it's here. I was initially concerned that more mid-bass could be boomy. DK assured me that it's not at all boomy in his system and he's spot on. There's more low bass, more mid bass, more thump in the chest bass. Somehow it's also tighter at the same time. I installed Erse Super Q SDA inductors a long time ago and this is a further improvement.

    Overall - My expectations have been exceeded. What I can't adequately express is how much more enjoyable it is to listen to my system now. It went from "that sounds really good" to "wow!" Wow is not always a good thing but this is the kind of wow that makes you want to keep listening.

    Thanks again @vcwatkins and @250GTLusso for putting this together! Thanks @DarqueKnight for your previous work that led to this! Hope the rest of you enjoy this as much as I am.

    By the way, I used the Neutrik cable to cable adapter that you found for the comparisons. Thanks for letting us know about the adapter H9!

    So anyone else actually build this thing yet? Impressions? Reviews? Worth the money and the wait?

    Mine is almost done. I just have to connect the wires properly to the Neutriks. It'll be a while before I can hear it because I'm waiting for my crossovers from @VR3 and I still have to complete the other upgrades.
    This thing IS f@$!#&%/ heavy though, so that part is definitely worth the money! :D

    I built an 800va while waiting for the 1000va to come in and had the second case all ready to go when it arrived. They both are done but I am kind if in the same boat as @honestaquarian. Meaning both my pairs of speakers (SR2's and 2.3's) are not ready to audition yet (doing upgrades on then: VR3 Neutrik terminal plates, Larry's rings, dynamatting baskets etc.....)

    I can't wait until I can audition everything though....

    Hey,

    Sorry, been out of the country (Romania - not so internet friendly where I was). I did get mine in the mail in perfect condition right before I left. Had a package of nonferrous bolts waiting on me today when I jumped off the plane so should be building it up this week.

    Thanks for making this happen and for all the excellent tips from everyone for helping me maximize the sound quality of my beloved speakers! You guys are awesome!!

    Good suggestion. I've got everyone's email and some phones, but foolishly expected everyone would be checking in here at some point after receiving theirs (or the projected date if not rec'd). If it were me, I'd be checking in every day, hehe. Two last visited here before shipment began. The others have been around but haven't responded. Guess folks are busy with life.

    I was hoping to keep everything consolidated in this thread and the group PM for simplicity's sake. But I'll send some emails out to see if that helps. I won't be making calls however.

    Edit: Email sent.

    Well I think I'm gonna take a little break from the trolling on the forum.

    I have tried PM's, emails, and texts, but haven't been able to confirm receipt for the above three. Apologies if I somehow missed your reply. If you happen to see this, please confirm via the email in my profile. I'm hoping no news is good news; but if there were issues with delivery, please let me know.

    Thanks to members for making this such a fun and easy group buy.

    Hi Craig, sorry for the late reply (work has consumed all of my free time as of late). Yes I did receive my 2 units (still in boxes unfortunately). I will have them together soon (I hope).

    As Jesse said, we all owe YOU our most sincere gratitude for taking the lead on this procurement. It went flawlessly as a result of your leadership.

    Cheers,

    So.... where are all the comments about how great these things sound? That's usually how these group buy threads are supposed to wrap up!!
