How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?


Or for that matter the Von Schweikert sound in general, particularly their newer models?
What would you, Von Schweikert owners/previous owners, auditioners, consider their strengths.... weaknesses?

thx

I would agree with the above. They sound like what you hook up to them. I've tried quite a few combinations with mine and I have gone from thinking I wonder what all the hype is about to now I understand it. I would consider using proven to be good combinations with them. I don't think they are speakers that you can just throw anything at and they will sound great. One thing I really like about them is that they sound great out of the sweet spot, I can really enjoy music even from the other room when these are playing. What I've personally discovered is that these speakers like some power. I've tried 70, 100, 300, and 400 watts and they became noticably more dynamic and lively as the power increased.
I only heard them briefly at a dealer last year, not enough to form an opinion. But just yesterday there were 8 used pairs here on the Gon for sale. They seem to be dropping like flies recently.

I had them for a couple months... problem was for most of the time I used wire that I discovered was horrible - wire was hard conductors and took away some midbass (never was a big wire person but that opened my eyes).

I did notice they are very dynamic, can go loud quickly. Didn't spend enough time tweaking as I was running through so much different music trying them out. Top end with it's excellent detail carried through the house too much where my wife would complain yet I didn't feel it was loud. Bass was nice and deep.

I just ran out of budget and dropped back down a bracket or two.
I only heard them at the HE show in NYC - they sound rather "hi-fi" to me. But that's obviously a quick demo.
Dynamic and definitely full range. A fun speaker to listen to all types of music. Not anemic sounding like lots of the new high end clones. Better bass than speakers costing 5 times higher
