Von Schweikert VR 4 jr. Worth upgrading to MKII?

search the archives . . . there was a discussion a while back about the differences between the 2 versions. My (vague) recollection is that the difference is minor and only exists because one of the components in the MkI is no longer available, so they found a substitute.

There is a new VR4 Annivesary Edition speaker coming out soon. I am sure it will be at the CES or T.H.E. show. The VR4jr MKII is now out of production. The Anniversary Edition is replacing it. It looks a lot like jr, but I hear that the sound is an upgrade. I have the VR4jr's and love them, but I am very interested to hear more about this new speaker!

Hi Pal, before you think about a speaker upgrade(the last link in the chain) work on improvements that reduce distortion & noise "upstream". It's "remarkable" how much better your speakers will sound by simply 'eliminating' digital hash--distortion- from cd player AC line contamination. If you reveal more about your system I & others may have suggestions that will give you 'more bang for your buck'. Cheers.pete

Just out of interest would like to know myself, however I love my Jr,s so much as they are, I could not imagine an upgrade being worth the money. For that extra money, I think spending it on a fast subwoofer, even if it were not a VSA unit would give you more bang for the song and the buck. Happy listening. Glen
