Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's

I have had a pair of these for about 6 months. I am very happy with the sound quality, but not so thrilled with the durability of the cabinet finish. The scratch extremely easily. I have several fine scratches in the finish, and they look like crap compared to my former Thiel speakers. Those could be wiped off without fear of scratching, unlike the VR4jr's.

Gues the Made in China finish is the reason they are so inexpensive. Too bad, these will not hold value as they will look like old speakers that had a family of kids living around them.

Great sound, poor finish!

I have VR4jr's in black powered by a Parasound Halo A51. One of the reasons I selected the black finish is it appears to be more durable than the other finishes, although perhaps not as attractive when new. This is not a high gloss lacquer; in fact, it looks more like paint than a stain or oil finish.

The Parasound Halo amp with high current capability and 250 watts per channel is a good match for the VR4jr imho.
