I have had VR-4 Jrs for a year in my room which is 15 x 16. I don't think you will have any problems in your room. The speakers are excellent and respond very well to simple tweaks in their positioning. I solved my bass problem (too LITTLE at my listening spot due to mode cancellation) by just toeing the speakers inward and moving them closer by six inches each. The imaging that you will get with these speakers in your room will be spectacular. (Note-- I am selling my speakers because I have to change around my furniture due to WAF - and I am sad.) The excellent quality of your amp and pre-amp will really make the VR-4 Jrs shine.
Von Schweikert VR4jr's in a 15' x 12' Room?
i am just about ready to pull the trigger on a pair of VSA VR4jr's, but am a little concerned about my room size. the room is 12' x 15', and the speakers would go along the 15' wall. they would be about 24" - 30" from the wall behind them, and would be about 4' or so from the side walls. in addition, they would be about 7' or so apart, and also about 7' from my listening position.
i had a pair of VR2's in this room for a while, and they were outstanding speakers. i have heard the VR4jr's a couple times, and i absolutely love them. my real concern is that they may produce a bit too much bass for my room. my mcintosh c2200 pre-amp does have tone controls, and i could dial down the bass a bit if necessary. my instincts tell me that the VR4jr's should work out fine in this room, but i'd like very much to hear the opinions of my audiophile brothers and sisters before i pull the trigger on this purchase.
FYI - the system is made up of the mcintosh c2200 pre-amp, the mc402 power amp and a musical fidelity tri-vista SACD player. kimber hero interconnects, and bi-wire pairs of kimber 4tc speaker cable.
thanks!
