Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5

I have experience with both. The Von Schweikerts are more of a statement speaker. They can fill any room with great sound. The same tweeter as the Wilson's, but also another same rear ambience tweeter that really helps. Twin carbon fiber mids and 400 lb. cabinets of real wood along with twin woofers and incredible crossovers and 96 db efficient! You can find Wilsons all the time on Audiogon ,but may only see the VR6's used once every few years. I guess you know which I would buy.

I have experience with both speakers and IMHO the Von Schweikert's are a much better speaker. The quality built into these speakers is amazing. Carbon fiber mids, rear ambience tweeters, 400 lb. cabinets in todays market would probably be $30,000. They are pretty and a giant statement at the same time. They are very heavy and hard to ship, but so worth it. You will see Wilson's for sale here all the time, but you only see VR6's for sale every 2-3 years if that.

Thanx a lot. I think all of you guys are going the same direction. No more doubts. Remarquable and rare unanimity here in A-gon. Didn't think it is possible when audiophiles speak about components.

Nik,
You made it easy.Your amp will sing with the right speaker,the Wilson is`nt a good impedance load match at all.
Regards,

I've owned the VR6 a long time ago and sold them to a friend who still uses them. He also drives them with a low powered push pull tube amp (cayin).
Those speakers were quite good at its time but I thing for 4-5 K you can get a better sounding speaker either brand new or a mint one.
