Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.

I vote 3A.

Buy VMPS if you want to install a new woofer, new tweeters, new caps, change the crossover, delete a toggle switch, add lambs wool, brace the cabinets, etc., and do whatever else is added on a weekly basis to "improve" the sound. It's like the Michael Jackson of speakers it's under the knife so much. Oh- but this is what makes the speaker so special- I forgot! Have your soldering iron handy. Buy Vandersteen if you want to sit back and listen to music!

So true!

Just be sure you guys never have a shootout between the VMPS's and the Vandersteen's as it's no contest any way you want to listen to it. I like the Vandersteen's, don't get me wrong, but they have met their match by no small margin by a number of other companies speakers in their price range. Remember too that Richard Vandersteen's advertising budget per month is what some companies gross sales are too. Who's paying for that?

I USED to own VMPS- you're right it's no contest. Cdw57 also forgot to mention the endless fun with the putty and the pots.
