Someone at AVS also place an order for bookshelves It would be nice if they can confirm all this. Blame it on rojo! Click to expand... Yeah, they really have to do a better job of updating their website. She said that she had to cancel a few orders. Its kinda messy since Shopatron deals with the money and Maxxsonocs do the shipping. They are not very coordinated.

G GeneC Junior Audioholic Apr 23, 2011 55 0 18 Mar 11, 2014 #46 Well, I ordered a pair of 05's Sunday night in Elsberry. Should have ordered the full 5 piece set as the center was sold out on Monday afternoon. Then, I thought about returning the Elsberry's (eating the shipping costs) and ordering the full Maple set. Well...not anymore. On to plan "C". This was another example of why I don't always believe "if it's sounds too good to be true...". If the 05's beat out anything I've owned in the past, or have on hand right now, I'll really be kicking myself. I seem to find something to fault with just about everything but I've never really listened to a speaker that's this good. Thanks for all your input Zieglj01, and all the other posters. Mr. Zieglj01...you listed the speakers you thought weren't quite as good as the 05's. Anything you've had/heard that you think might be better?

Are you trying to say that the speaker is good? I have not listened to, or owned anything that is as transparent or revealing as the Vera 05. There is always something out there, to knock another speaker off. > There is no one special speaker that is for everyone. While there is no perfect speaker - this one is really good. I am a nit-picker, and while they are not perfect, I find no distracting or offensive faults to my ears. I am a former owner of the Fostgate Audionics FA61.0 speakers - so I knew going in, that the MB Quart did have potential to be really nice/good Last edited by a moderator: Oct 19, 2014

What I meant was I really don't have any experience with bookshelf speakers in the $1000+ range. The best speaker I've heard so far was the Swan M1 which I listened to at a CL seller a couple of years ago while buying a receiver. Only got to hear them for about 10 minutes but I immediately knew I was listening to a much better speaker then I was acustomed to. I wonder how many pairs/centers they've sold (guess we'll never know) and how long it will take for any of them to start hitting the used market (we'll have to wait and see). Anyway, I'm looking forward to listening to the 05's. Still waiting for a tracking number.

I got my tracking number this afternoon, but they don't have the delivery date listed yet. I'm moving next week, so it's possible that they will go straight from the UPS truck into the moving truck and I won't be able to hear them (or any of my other speakers) for about 3 months while I look for a new place

They sound good - and can handle your type and all types of music. 52 lbs for a speaker pair - for a little over a dollar a pound, is good. (that is with shipping included)
