Better speakers than Von Schweiker VR4jr under 3k

With the economy tanking and lots of folks dumping their stuff (or soon will be) it should be fairly easy to find 8K+ speakers for around 3K so the field is wide open to find something 'better'. I have a local guy selling me his Focus Audio FS888, less then 2 years old, retailed over 10K for $3600...sweet

VS4Jr are awesome speakers. When I bought mine I compared them to some heavy hitters. I agree with some of the posters, finding better (in their price range) doubt it, different, yes. Oh and the guy that said Vandersteen, I had the Vandersteen 2ce sig ii and the VS are IMO head and shoulders better - I found the Vandies fuzzy by comparison. Some of the other stuff listed above is OK and probabably better then the vr4 in one area or another but they each have their own faults too and most retail far above the VR4jr when new.

cheers and good listening (oh and good bargain hunting)

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ,
You gays are awesome,
What about Aerial Acoustics 8B ?
Do I have to try?
& "Arkio"I agree with you about Vandersteen
& what do you think about Aerial 8B?
Thanks again, everyone.

Arkio excuse me for saying this but it looks like you take advantage of people or consistently try to lowball? Hope you sleep well at night.

I agree with Shaky, it isnt hard to find a much better speaker for that amount and some of his list are great places to start. As far as the Vandersteen....if I could snag a used pair of Quatro's for $3000 I would in a minute!

Samzx12 - WTF
"take advantage of people"..."consistently try to low ball" Where do you get off insulting me? Its dolts like you that would buy a speaker for 10K and turn around and sell it the next day for 1/3 the cost and then insult people like me who are more then willing to take them off your hands. I hope you sleep well tonight after you finish listennig to you Bose wave stereo.

good listening.
