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?

The VR4JRs have got consistent rave reviews from many different sources and more importantly, Geoh YOUR ears are telling you they are quite good. However, I would like to share two thoughts with you. First, how could you even be thinking about buying a new speaker without a home audtion with a return policy if they are not synergetic with the rest of your system/acoustic space. Secondly, at every price bracket their are fine pieces including the $4000.00 to $6000.00 for speakers so personnal taste/system matching is critical for final slection. For my ears/taste I still love MG-3.6s over the VR-4JRs in that price range. That should mean nothing to you unless you hear them in comparsion to the the speakers being discussed in this thread. It can be a pain-in the- butt to arrange home audtions of speakers but its the only way to tell for sure if their for you. Good luck and be patient it will pay off with the right decision in the long run. I have known so many audiophiles who bought speakers, then worked like hell to get them to sound right in their home system, and never really achieved what they wanted, because they did not do a home audtion before they purchased the speakers.
