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 a pair of VR4Jr and the finish is fabulous! The sound quality is wonderful, musical and all the reasons I have a pair.

The bass units to MT units are beautiful and the pair are nicely book matched.

I believe persons complaining about products being made in China are not forthcoming with their real intentions of posting a complaint in this forum.

I believe persons complaining have too much time on thier hands and should simply enjoy the sound and be happy they didnt pay "full pop" for , B&W, Velodyne, Onix, Vienna Acoustics, Gamut, Usher, Dunlavy, and many other products of which are made in China but have inflated retail pricing.

The "cost of goods" value compared to the retail value have nothing to do with each other!

Wilson Audio, Thiel, Vandersteen, Martin Logan and many many more have speakers that are assembled in Denmark or China and the units are stuffed in an enclosure in the US.

Von Schweikert is forthcoming with what products are made in China and what is made in the USA.

Audi A6, Mercedes CK 230 are made in China!

Vienna Acoutics is made in China!

Dali is made in China!

Where a product is made is not as important of the quality systems in place to make the product as the raw materials come from China.

Do people complain that the US flag is made in China! Or your fireworks on the American 4th of July holiday!

Please offer intelligent reasoning when complaining about something instead of quoting somebody on a subject you have no experience or working knowledge of. Thank you
