Hardly see any Von Schweikert upper end speakers for sale here.

Have you seen the pair that is/was for sale in Florida?  They're the bigguns but were painted uhhh amateurly for a dark home theater. Last time I saw them they were around $20k which was something like 80% off msrp. I sorta wish I could have bought them.

Very few are made ,and the value used is very low vs say a Magico,or Wilson 

buyers like them ,get a good deal and keep them ,the few I have spoken. With.

Part of the reason could be that they just don’t sell many of their top tier speakers. 

I’ve had my VR-44 Passives for the last 10 years and have felt no reason to replace them.  The reflect the quality of the signal provided to them.
