Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's

Prpixil, You are right ...$4000 is not inexpensive. I was speaking in the context of the sound quality one gets for that price.And in that respect, I think they are a good deal.

Bundy, I have a pair of 2.3's , and was looking for a bit more output level wise, as well as trying to tame the top end a bit. Not sure if I've totally succeeded in the second aspect, as poorly recorded music still sounds a mite shrill at times, but I am happy with the balance of the VSA speakers as a whloe. I think the Thiel's image better, much better in fact, but it may be a result of my setup. I would love to try a high-current amp with both these speakers, something like a large Pass, for example....maybe when the finances are better.

That was the whole point of my post. I lovve the sound, but the damned things are way too easily scratched. I wiped the top of one with my shirt to remove the dust, and my shirt button left a scratch!..Just a durable coating to protect the finish is all I ask. And at this price, I feel that is a reasonable expectation.
Mine are in the Dark cherry finish, and a scratch shows perhaps more than on the lighter finish.

Anyone know if the scratches can be buffed out and then repaired buy additional coats of urethane, or another process?

Trueanalog, Please reread my posts!..I love the sound of the speakers, but am annoyed that the finish is so sensitive to scratches. Period.

Thanks for the great advice. I'll try to get someone with experience repairing furniture locally to have look.
Your reply was greatly appreciated.
