Review 1 of 73

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Got these for $10 at a yard sale. Yes, a yard sale. I replaced an RCA surround system with these, and what a difference! I have these in a 600 sq ft apartment, and could probably vibrate the entire building. I like these better than a set of Bose 301s I used to have, and for 15+ years old, they have held up well!

Review 2 of 73

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I bought my VS-120's from a local through the want ads for 35$. They look like they are probably about 10 or 15 years old. When I first hooked them up to an older pioneer receiver I heard things in my music that I never heard before. They sound great all around. One of the surrounds on the subs is a little beat up but thats okay because I run them with a 15 CV subwoofer. These speakers sound great and get so much louder than they need to, which is good for doing work around the house when you still want to hear your music. I am currently running them with an Onkyo TX 811. I dont know how much power it puts out but it is beyond enough. If I have my computer volume at 80 percent, I dont need my receiver past 50 percent and I fill the whole house with music.

Review 4 of 73

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Para un prosáico son perfectos... Para un audiófilo... les falta un poco... pero es muy facil corregirlas... Siendo que no son profesionales planas, son muy buenas, superando en pruebas a varias de marcas como BOSÉ e incluso muchísimo mejores que éstas basileñas... superiores a KEF aunque por la marca la mayoría los desprecie. is vs-120 fueron fabricadas en 1990 y siguen teniendo sus bobinas originales y jamás se han averiado. Su construcción es muy buena, los componentes son buenos... Sus deficiencias como todo entendido sabe o intuye, son que adolecen en los medios. A pesar de estar relativamente bien compensadas encuanto a la distribución de las bocinas suele presentar deficiencias que abarcan los 700Hz a los 3.7Khz principalmente, que es donde está el corte entre el mediorango y la unidad de agudos. Yo compensé esa deficiencia construyendo un crossover balanceado en su corte de frecuencias y añadiendo a los preexistentes, unosdrivers de neodimio que originalmente son para publidifusión con unas carátulas hechas en fibra de carbono a semejansa de las que oriiginalmente tiene. Después de estos cambios las he probado en espectro consiguiendo una respuesta casi plana que es muy facilmente compensable con una leve modificación de no más de 4Db+/-
Lo que yo conseguí con estas adecuaciones es también posile con corrección de ecualización con el único problema de ser necesario ser activo en el algoritmo de potencia.

It looks like they didn't teach the class of '92 how to spell or use periods. Maybe they should have taught them about good speakers too.

The original fuse is of 3.6 amp but is necesary change it to make fit the power source ouput and the peak rms of the vs-120 acording to the voltage of the amplifier ouput.
