Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler

I owned VR 4.5's for 3 years before owning my current Vienna Mahlers. No comparison the Mahlers play music the VR 4.5's played hifi.
Have not heard the current VR speakers.

If you luv your mahlers, why are you looking at changing?

Downunder,

Care to explain youir remark that, "the Mahlers play music the VR 4.5's played hifi."

I haven't spent much time with the 4.5s, but I have the 4jr speakers, not yet fully broken in or set up, and I am very impressesd with how they present classical music to this regular concert-goer.

Melm, In my system the VS 4.5's could never really get any deep bass and the midrange / treble was very trasparent but ultimately fatiguing - much like hifi.
The mahlers just sounded better.

You should have read the manual on how to set them up. They have tramendously tight base and fatiguing is not what you get from them unless the rest of your system is very weak. They can't make up for weak system.

>They have tramendously tight base<

Yes, but do they have tramendously tight bass too????
