New Von Schweikert VR 33?

Let's face it, it is a very tough business environment out there for all businesses and I am sure those in higher end audio can feel the pinch more acutely. Albert through his dealer network built a very good reputation for his products and his service after the sale and I am sure believed that this would transition smoothly to an online model. It seems like Thiel audio may have been leaning in this direction also.

For those that have run a business, you know that plans almost never go exactly as we expect, but this is what makes it fun! We should all appreciate Albert's efforts to make innovative products. And at the end of the day, if he makes a great speaker at a price we like we should buy it.

FWIW, I used 4JRs in my system for quite some time and still use VR-1 and SVS-1 sub in my HT and have no affiliation with VSA.

I've heard a few VRs in the past few years and I must say, they are some of the most impressive speakers i've heard.
Set-up properly they can be spectacular !!

The VR 33 a very good sounding speakers and a excellent bargain for the money.
I too would like to know why audiofreakgeek not only bashes these speakers but also Magico and nothing special and also comments on Wilson. Being a commerical dealer your comments are most biased .

Disclosure - I am an audio manufacturer as well as owning a retail company. I am not a VS dealer.

I don't know how anyone who has owned a VS speaker or ever spoken to Albert can have anything negative to say. Albert and his crew seemed to me to be very down to earth, honest people.

I spent some time hanging out with them at this year's RMAF (one of his room was down the hall from ours) and also spent some time listening to the VR33 speakers. I won't go into the typical "you need to hear these" routine but would recommend finding out if someone near you has a pair that you can audition. I'll leave it at that.

I have no agenda other than hating to see good people get bashed for no justified reason.

By the way, I shut down for a couple months when we got hit by the 2006 flood in Upstate NY.......Still here.

Still interested in hearing from VR 33 owners.
