I know I'll be in the minority here but I personally do not think they are "all that". I did an extensive audition and found the bass, while deep and quite powerful, to lack pitch definition and speed. It was noticably "unnatural" sounding in the set up I heard. I also found the upper midrange a bit hard sounding. Overall, this is, in my view, one of those hifi speakers for listening to sounds but not a musical speaker. I'm not saying its bad, just not as good as some other stuff out there. For example, in the same price range the Harbeth Super HL 5 is much more musical and far superior to the VR4jr. Just one man's view, of course if you like the sound then that will be that--go for it.
Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that?
I've had the opportunity to listen to the VR4jrs a few times, and I've come away thinking they are just too good to be true, how will they sound in my room/system, can I do better, maybe I should listen again in a different enviroment (I heard them in three different enviroments already..... all very impressive).
So I'm thinking to myself, this is it, I'll pick up a pair of the Dark Red Cherry (my favorite finish) and live happily ever after.
But then a voice whispers..... keep looking, keep listening, maybe you'll find something you like better.
So, what do you guys think of the VR4JRs?
Are they all that?
