Is this nuts?

Ok, have had Usher 8871 for about 3 years. LOVE the sound, love the looks. For some reason (audiophilia nervosa, of course) am having the urge to try the VSA VR4Jr, having heard so much about it. It is a considerably smaller speaker than the 8871, and the WAF would be assuaged by that.

But, given the price diff in msrp (4K vs 8+K) would I be trading down? I know I can get some on trial but to be honest it takes me more than 2-3 days to audition new stuff. A lot more.

Another speaker that I have considered is the Gallo Ref 3 but the WAF is totally in the hole on that one.

BTW, I owned Maggie 3.6 before the Ushers. Yep, WAF again.

KcK, I'm a lucky man. My wife came to the relationship without an agenda. Unlike most women, she had no notion of trying to change me to fit some self made ideal of what she thought I should be. Unlike most women, she doesn't nag or complain and try to micro-manage every moment of my life.

I could buy speakers that looked like the leaning tower of Pisa and she'd be A-Ok with it, as long as I was happy. Why? Because my wife is cool!

Dawgbyte,You sound like you have the same kind of lady as myself. My wife is so understanding and very interested and supportive in the thing's that I enjoy and she get's the same right back from me in her passions...What Else?? How could it be any other way?? I could have stonehenge in our living room and It would be cool with her as long as she has her chair in the sweet spot right next to me. She think's The Magnepan 20.1's I bought look and sound awesome I could'nt agree more !! I showed her these posts and we both had some laughs.

So happy for you fellas.

Now can we get back to the speakers? OK, forget it. You guys like to talk about stuff you know about, eh, that's why you give marital advice in a speaker forum. I'm done with you shrinks. No doubt you will post here again just to get the last word. Go ahead, I can't cure what you've got.

Shaman, I'm glad to hear somebody else has a good woman by their side. My wife just ordered a pair of Stonehenge speakers for our kitchen! ;-)

Cheers,
