VAF Signature i90. Now is your chance.

[VAF]

Hi all,

Our little Signature i90 seem to have been a big hit at the Australian Audio & AV Show in Melbourne. Thanks for all the feedback and the positive posts in that thread. Those who experienced them already know how good they are, however we are getting lots of enquiries about from people who haven't heard them yet but have heard the 'buzz' about them. 

 

Their regular price is $999each in black or white. On orders taken from the 3 days between right now up to and including this Friday 8 Nov I'll do them for $699each. 

 

So why am I doing this? Well, firstly because it's my company and I can. Secondly it would be good if a few more owners could help those who haven't heard them yet do so.

 

Pictures & data sheets attached.

 

Taking orders on Signature i90 for $699 each for 3 days. Go.

These sounded amazing at the hi fi show - guys behind me queried whether they were really the ones producing such a large ,deep & clear soundstage and not the bigger speakers next to them! (we felt the same)

At that price they're a steal!

I second that.

[Gee Emm]

I was also impressed with the soundstage these speakers created at the show.

My i90's dramatically improved my office PC sound over Skype or starcraft 2.

Seriously a brilliant little speaker.

Stick an amp in them and akitimate couldn't sell another powered PC speaker.

May I ask what the sensitivity is on these and amplifier power recommendations?

Couldn't grab less, but here is the VAF info for the speaker

VAF Signature i90 details Details

At VAF we pride ourselves in helping each owner achieve the best sound quality from our speakers that is possible in their specific rooms and with their equipment. Please feel free to contact vaf@vaf.com.au with any questions about placement within your room or recom- mendations with regard to other equipment you are intending to use in the same system.

Finishes: Tasmanian Blackwood, Black Oak, American Cherry, Australian Jarrah, Decor Black and Decor White

Frequency range 65Hz to 20K Frequency deviation +/- 2.5dB Bass response 64Hz (-3db)

For Stereo

Unlike other small loudspeakers the Signature i90 can fill even large rooms with clear and

loud sound without a subwoofer. Used with a subwoofer, or a spaced pair of subwoofers they are transformed again into a category of power, detail and performance that is truly unbelievable for their size.

For Surround Sound

Used as a group of five or seven in a surround sound system the performance is truly breath- taking - True high end sound in a package that can fit into any room.

Like all VAF loudspeakers the new Signature

i90 features a time aligned symmetrical driver Phase deviation +/- 40 (100Hz to 7kHz) array. In this instance the same proprietary

Impedance 6 Ohms

Weight 3.6Kg Decor Black/White, 5.2Kg Timber Finish

Size 200mm x200mm x212 deep Black/White 214mm x 214mm x 234 deep Timber Finishes

custom dual concentric driver found in our legendary Signature i91 loudspeaker. Together with our critically aligned first order 6db per octave crossover this results in sound radiation as a “point source†with all sound appearing as emanating from the tweeter, and with incredible phase coherence. When used together in ste- reo or surround sound systems the result for the listener is huge and lifelike soundstage with pin-point imaging delivering a totally convinc-

I think the i91 has slightly louder output than the i90, but both are reasonably sensitive.  If you combine an i90 with a pair of i91's (eg as a centre speaker to a stereo pair of i91's) then you might need to be able to boost the volume on the i90 by perhaps 1 or 2 db.

 

I also think that they are typical 8 ohm speakers - nothing complex or difficult to drive here.

 

Personally, I expect that the answers to phantom's question will be of the second order - they are not a serious issue in my experience.

 

edit - Hah.  Showing my ignorance here.  FrankN's grab says they are 6 ohms, and I said 8!  DOH.

This is a damn good deal. I think I will order a pair soon myself for a second living area, after hearing them at the show.
There were a handful of things that impressed me at the show, and these were certainly one of them. I'm sure Philip recalls my reaction to them.

Indeed. It is always great to see people react in amazement to our Signature i90

What he said.

[Jone5y]

The website says they are 6 ohm speakers, not sure of sensitivity

[danter]

Looking for small form factor speakers for a mates HT. He has a Paradigm DSP-3100 sub and Yammy RX-V1067 already (selling off the large Yammy speakers).

 

How do you think these would go as fronts (and potentially a centre too)?

[Stokesy]

I made a friend of mine listen to them at the show........ she ordered a set today!

 

They really are an amazing little speaker!

[Phantom]

I imagine that these speakers would be an amazing full range system with a platform sub in a minimalist stereo set up.

You could even use the platform sub for your amp and source components to be paced on, thereby avoiding the need for a stand in a simple system.

Just set up my i90s on my desk at work today with my Quasimodo amp and was reminded just how good they are. I used to use them in the lounge but a mistrust of small fingers got the better of me and I put them away for a time. They really do have 3D sound staging, coherence and scale, when set up correctly.

Cheers!

Cant wait to receive mine, i,ll be using them as surrounds and as a centre   

As my room is quite small these speakers were the perfect choice for me

And with the VAF 1-91 fronts it should be a magical sounding set-up

And listening to them this week I'm still not sure I've made a sane decision to sell them to you ;-)

As Grumpy said it is a magical combo.

These little gems are awesome its what grabbed my attention in the first instance and why I ordered the i66's  - one day I will grab a pair for my home theatre system..

[Johnnygohard]

I wish this deal was still going?

[Phantom]

It isn't.

 

Perhaps your best chance is when the next audio show is on. AFAIK, VAF usually have some kinda show specials, but don't quote me on that. In any case, whenever they do have specials they pretty much always announce it on this board so just keep checking.

[danter]

Never hurts to ask.  Most retailers will work some sort of deal off RRP.

[VAF]

Absolutely! If there is something you've got your heart set on please let us know. If you're willing to be patient or flexible with finishes we can often pass on savings we get adding extra units onto a big run or we may have speakers left over from commercial jobs and that sort of thing.

 

Johnny, I've sent you a personal message.
