Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.

Ok, I've whittled my list down to the above. However, I have not had a chance to listen to either of these yet (dealers are scarce in my area.) I value the folks' opinions on this site very much and would like some regarding which speaker they'd recommend. I have Marantz SA8260 SACD and PM7200 Integrated. I listen to primarily Jazz and other acoustic music. Thanx in advance.

Richard Vandersteen's advertising budget per month is what some companies gross sales are too. Who's paying for that?

You are kidding, right? Richard Vandersteen's advertising is about as low-budget as you can get for a company of that size. If another company has gross sales equal to Vandersteen's advertising budget, I would fear for that company's well being.

I think a major point is being missed. The original post stated, "I listen to primarily Jazz and other acoustic music." Is there anybody who really thinks that the vr4jr's are going to be better at that?
Rock, yes. Large scale Classical, maybe. Hip Hop, definitely. Jazz and acoustic - no way. The Vandersteens are what you would be happier with.

Opalchip is dead on accurate with his comments. On jazz and acoustic music, the 3A Sigs absolutly shine. In fact there was no comparision agaist the vr4jr - they just did not impress me at all.

Well, I will add in my two cents and say that while I have not heard the VR4jr, I own their big brother and feel it does quite well with jazz (which is what I primarily listen two). It just requires that you mate the speakers with an appropriate amp that will flavor them to your liking.
