Von Schweikert VR 22

I owned the VR-33s and they were good, not great speakers. I have my doubts about the VR-22s.

Hi Ros, Yes while they are good value for the money --they lack dynamics

and are slightly muffled in the lower mid bass

Just my observations-I still prefer Vandersteens( if you want floor

standers) for Standmounts the Reference 3A da Capos take some beating

I heard the VR22's at this year's RMAF. They're more revealing (and demanding) of upstream components than the VR33's and will serve well to judge equipment as your system evolves. The VR22's impressed me to the point that I purchased a pair for a college graduation present. I think they're a great buy at the price. If you audition the VR22's, they'll need several weeks of break-in unless VSA gives them a head start for you before shipping.

Thanks. VSA will break them in. Albert Von Schweikert says my tube equipment should sound good with them.

The VR22s are very good, I auditioned them with much more expensive gear and they delivered a top quality sound that did not suggest they were the weak link. They even can be placed close to a wall without major compromise which is hard to appreciate until you need to exploit this.

Not sure what's better sounding at the price, though there are probably many that are better looking, though these actually blend in well to a room. I believe you can get a month's trial with return privileges from VSA so trying them is not too difficult, they are not too heavy and should be easy enough to pack and ship back if you don't care for them in your rig.
