Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA

It has been a long time since I have listened to Electrocompaniet. From what I remember, it sounds very smooth for solid state. I am sure it would make an excellent match to either speaker.

Congratulations on your choice. I'm sure you would be very pleased with either speaker, just for different reasons.

You can see nice pictures at the following links:

Keep in mind that the speakers are much smaller than they look in the pictures (just 3' tall); however, they sound much larger than they physically look. When you listen, they image so nicely that you really won't be able to pinpoint that the music is coming from the speakers at all. The music seems to just exist in space independent of the speakers.

I chose black with black base. Actually, that was the wife's choice. I got to choose the speaker, and she chose the colors that go best with our decor. Black with black blends in nicely and doesn't call a lot of attention to itself, especially with the covers installed.

Once again congratulations, and let us know how you like your choice.

On my system page, there's a picture of the silver 3's with the maple base. Away from home right now, so I can't take detailed photos of the spade size, but I hooked up my Nordost SPM's with no problem.

Can't wait to talk to my dealer about the SA....

Bgrzman - do you know how the SPM's are terminated?

I have factory terminated spades... but I don't know how Nordost terminates them.

There's a new review from enjoythemusic.com here on the jr's:
