Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed

Hi All,

I would like to get any comments/opinions on this speaker. I am very interested in purchasing it. It is purely for stereo use, no home theater. Mix of music, ranging from new age (Adiemus, Vangelis), some light classical, light rock (Cranberries), and especially female vocals (Norah, Diana Krall, Katie Melua) etc. I am limited in terms of what is available to me here but I can get a set of these at a very good price. My other option is the Usher Audio CP-6381. What would you guys suggest?

Thanks,
X

Hi There,

Unfortunately as mentioned I am limited in terms of availability and currently these are the choices I have :(

Anyway, the Ushers are $3400 and the VSA' $4000.

Xenithon,

It's easy to understand why you would have questions about these speakers, espescially if you have read the review in the new TAS. It's one of the most poorly-constructed reviews I've come across in quite some time.
The strength of this speaker is it's versatility. It can excel with MANY variations in musical tastes. Example: you can enjoy both "Love Scenes" and "Back in Black". You can also upgrade your other gear several times and never "outgrow" these speakers.

FWIW TAS just did a positive review, I got mine in the mail yesterday.

VMPS RM40, Dali Helicon, Gallo Reference 3, JM Reynaud Offrande, or any Audio Note speaker would be great choices from what I have read, in that price range...
