Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts?

Mid-bass recessed? I believe Gp1 is the first audiophile to say this. What do the rest of you think? Perhaps the very good depth of the speaker does bring the soundstage back a bit, is what I am gathering. Well, let's just bloat it up a bit with a bloomy tube preamp or amp! That's what I call customizing the sound.....

Robm321,
What spikes did you use to replace the VR-4jr spikes with? Are you happy with them? Do you know the thread size of the spikes? Thanks

ELB.. Contact VSA. They will send you a pair of the new spikes at no charge. Just got mine this week, and they are a major improvement.

I've heard the VR4 III HSEs in my buddy's place and they were amazing. To think they only had about 20 to 30 hours on them the first time I heard them. Right now, they have over 100 hours or so on them and they sound even better. Mid-bass and bass is just to die for. Mid and highs are also great.

Just like what all the reviews say, they are very versatile speakers. From Electronica to jazz quartets to Orchestral music ... simply outstanding. And the way the VR technology just fills up the room and does away with that sweet spot ... amazing.

If the musicality of the Jr's are 70 to 80% of the VR4 HSE's, then they should be awesome.

elb,

I actually went to an audio store in Berkeley, CA. I asked if they had any spikes (I was ready to buy some). They said since I travelled from San Jose to the store, they'd just give me some. They are just spikes with a locking nut (nothing fancy), but they work good. They won't break. They are solid. No name brand or anything. They probably keep them around in case they need them for speakers in the showroom. I've never had any desire to try anything else. They work!

Sorry, I can't be of anymore help than that.
