Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr

i have a new set of VSA VRjr's and like the sound alot,i just want more of that sound,do the SR's sound just like the jr's only fuller?? anyone have the SR's or heard them.bad thing is they are double the price?? thks for any help

I heard the SRs at THE Show in Vegas in 05... I did not like them at all, sorry. Could have been the room or the electronics (the Oracle CD player was on the fritz).

That said, in the Consonance room that same show, they were using VS DB99s to feature their tube amps and Droplet CD player... The DB99s were absolutely phenominal, IMO. If I were shelling out the bucks for the SRs, I would definitely move up to a used pair of DB99s instead, but that is just me.

I thought that about the db99's at first, but after further listen the tweeter on the SR is much better.

Also, the SR uses what Von Schweikert thinks is the best midrange driver in the world!

"I did not like them at all, sorry" - wow, must have high standards.

Stereophile has a pair in for review in case that means anything. I don't give them a lot of weight, but you should try to listen to the DB99 if you plan on using tubes. I think you will find the top end better on the SR

I am somewhat in agreement with Dave. While I wouldn't say I hated the Sr.s, in a side by side comparison with the DB-99s, there was no contest. The DB-99s were muuuuuccch better. I would love to see a pair of them come up on the used market when I have the funds available. Hell, I might just run up a CC bill to snag a pair of them.

Fair enough, you are certainly entitled to your opinion... I disagree, however.

I do. Tyler Acoustics has spoiled me rotten. That said, the DB99s definitely meet or exceed even my "high standards." :-)
