I bought the VAF DC-X 20 years ago as a kit (time goes FAST). For a few years after a move they sat in my garage and where even damaged (isolated rips in the rubber surrounds in the drivers ). I bought a set a Jamo's and also had a good quality computer audio system setup and used those in the years the VAFs where in storage. I thought they sounded good, until I recently pulled the VAF's out and wired them up, bi amped to my Denon. You don't realise what you are missing with audio .. until you do. I've gone from cardboard under...Read more

When I brought the Dc-X35 Mk2 home from Vaf, I plugged them into my amp and was instantly blown away by them, I spend the next few days going through my music collection seeing which recordings where done properly in the studio. These speakers are big, hence they make a wall of sound that immerses you in the music, much better than listening to headphones. They go very loud, but you don't need to drive them hard to get a good sound, even at low listening levels they sound very dynamic. The bass you get from these is very controlled and no...Read more

Can't say enough great things about the DCX. Upgraded to the Generation IV a few years ago. Tried out many other brands - both overseas & local - but none can touch these speakers for even double the price. Recently upgraded to the MARK II, and it's well worth it... It's a noticeable jump up in every department. Whatever you listen to, the DCX's are just all-round unbeatable. I guess many factors help make them so special.... Very accurate, very neutral. Smooth, audiophile-level sound. Fantastic fidelity all the way down. Clean, clear, w...Read more

I never thought I would ever place a review on a website but stumbled accross this site when deciding whether or not to buy VAF DCX speakers.
Customer reviews on the web convinced me to give VAF a go when I was looking at Paradigm, DB and other brands.
A visit to VAF was promising as the sound quality was awesome.  (although I did secretly beleive they had a Sub Woofer hidden somewhere to get such clean crisp bass)
I ordered my DCX's to put together in kit form but was very dissapointed to join a 6 week waiting list for them to arrive.  Afte...Read more

I looked and listened to heaps of hifi setups and these definitely have to be the best bang for buck speakers around (if you can afford them)
I purchased a complete set for a 7.1 home theater setup and was not disappointed.
The only downside is that when you look at them in the showroom the acoustics in the showroom is designed by an audio engineer and most home listening environments are not therefore they didn't have the base at home as compared to the showroom. I fixed that with a competitor brand subwoofer
These speakers are great, my nei...Read more

The fact that they can be bought in kit form, warrantee still applying, makes them not only cheaper but gives one a feeling of self satisfaction when playing them.
I have had a set for 5 years & could easily afford others if not satisfied.
I have decided to change them however because VAF have brought out a series IV model and I feel that they are sonically improved.
I'm not an electronic engineer or whatver but I know what I like & the Generation IV VAF DCXs are an improvement on the now around 10 year old original DC-Xs.
The kit cost is $...Read more

This is a review of the new DC-X Generation 4 speakers, which I bought to replace my existing DC-X\'s. I assembled them myself to save some bucks. At one point I was investigating several other makes to see if I should stick with VAF, but no doubt about it - for the money these are just unbeatable. I\'ve loved the former DC-X for some years now, and kept coming back to their accuracy, deep, clean response and big soundstaging. But the new incarnation is a definite step up. While the differences were obvious at first, it wasn\'t until I ran them...Read more
