Von Schweikert VR4SR Loudspeaker


I m in the process of buying the ebony VR4SR which retail for 10K. Will be driving it with a Unison Research S8, SET with 24watts. How is the speaker? Is my integrated amplifier good enough to drive it? I m using Transparent Reference Speaker cable, power cord and interconnect. Accessories include BDR cones , Exact Power Conditioner and Transparent PIXL. Happy Listening.

I'd have to say a more powerful amp is going to be needed if you want much volume and dynamic capability at all. With only 24 set watts for those you should at least get a SS bass amp and maybe bi amp them.
You should also think about the VSA DB99 which would match with your amp better.
I would second the DB99. I think it is one of the better speakers out there, period - and very efficient for tubes or lower powered solid state, but tubes are a dream with them. At least listen before choosing something else if you can.
TQ for all your responses. Fr where I come from (Malaysia) I got no chance to audition the DB99 speaker.I suppose I need to change my amplifier if i want to buy VR4Sr. Happy listening
Audioblazer-

I nervously bought the VSA99's without audition due to location. But make no mistake, I researched speakers for aprox a year and a half- reading and asking many questions from experienced audiophiles.

Buying these 99's is the single best decision in audio land I have ever made. I would encourage you to listen to those who share there ideas with you. Also- I am not sure I have read anywhere/anyone who after hearing the VR4Sr and the 99's that they thought the VR4Sr was better. Perhapse you should run a post asking for comparisons of the two. I would also recommend you call or e-mail Von Schweikert for a convo on sound differences. And for what your paying for the VR4 you could get the 99. 99 also come in ebony.

One last thing- think about cost of selling and then buying another amp?
