looking to change speakers.
Grab these...a huge step up. http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?spkrplan&1173306245 Note: not my speakers...I wish they were though! Dave |
I just bought the VR4SR-MKII's and currently own the Legacy Whispers. Compared to the Legacy Whispers the Von Schweikerts are able to produce more Nuances, Textures and layers to the music. I am hearing things on recordings that I have listened to on the Whispers a dozen times before and am hearing things I never heard before. I am struggling getting the kind of thump your chest bass though compared to the Whispers. The bass on the VR's is tight and articulate but I have not gotten the authority yet I am after. The manual says 300 hours of break in time is neeeded to lossen the cones up, also I will play with palcement in my room. Currently from the center of the speaker face I have them 2' 2 9/16" from the side walls and 3' 10 7/16" from the rear walls. There is a sense of ease when listening to these compared to the Whispers. They will also go loud without chasing you out of the room. I have never listened to the Tyler Linbrook Signatures, so I went to their web site to take a look. The Tylers look to me like they have some very similiar characteristics to the VR's design. What is it that you are exactly after by wanting to change speakers. I wanted a better sense of instrument placement, depth of field and more subtleties. That I got from the VR's over the Whispers, but I am not fully satisfied with the bass yet. Searching for nirvana is a bitch. Good Luck in the New year. Indiana_Jones |
