Anybody hear the Von Schweikert VR-4jr at CES?

I've noticed quite a few more JR's for sale here than one would expect - with "only 3 months old", "barely broken in", "was part of 2nd system", "needed a different wood color" etc., etc. which makes me wonder?

Anybody who sold theirs care to speak up as to why they really took a $1000 hit after 3 or 4 months?

Personally, I think the VSA VR4-Jr has an overly pronounced bass that is unnatural and out of balance with the rest of the speaker's frequency response.

I've been using VR-4JR, LCR-15 and TS-150 for the last 2 months. These speakers sound wonderful.

They don’t have overly pronounced bass or sound out of balance. If they sound out balance, then I would focus on the room acoustics interaction or hide the flaws of inferior electronics. These speakers sounded great with McIntosh, Rouge, EAD and Cary gear and obviously my own.

These speakers require 50lb of lead, spikes, bi-wiring and 300-400 of break-in time.

In the near future, I want to update my electronics, but for the first time I feel satisfied with my speakers and no longer wander if the grass is greener on the other side.

I did hear them at CES. OPinions in the lunch area, where this was a topic of discussion at times, were mixed. However, I am on the positive side and felt that these sounded impressive overall for the pricepoint.

Winners for me included, Gallo Reference 3, Green Mountain Callisto,and Silverline Sonata 3.
