Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.

"It seemed to me as if they were trying to take advantage of the audience."

What? I am shocked, shocked!

Kal (who agrees to the extent that they chose favorable recordings for the system and room which, of course, does not distinguish their efforts from those of others)

I am using the Spectron Musician II to power the speakers with very good results.

Now, Kal--admittedly they did allow open requests from 4-6 each day. Would be great if you could chime in here, if you were able to do so.

I was stuck in video heaven, and never made it back upstairs!

Of course, I was able to play some of my own selections and that's how I realized that there were tricky room modes at work. On some cuts, they reinforced the bass to a wondrously impressive degree but, on a few, it was overblown and indistinct.

That said, I do not hold that against the speakers (which I did like) but offer it as an observation that there is more going in most demos than the performance of the components.

As I posted several days ago, I thought the VAC / VR-4Jrs were the best sound at the show.
