Is this nuts?


Ok, have had Usher 8871 for about 3 years. LOVE the sound, love the looks. For some reason (audiophilia nervosa, of course) am having the urge to try the VSA VR4Jr, having heard so much about it. It is a considerably smaller speaker than the 8871, and the WAF would be assuaged by that.

But, given the price diff in msrp (4K vs 8+K) would I be trading down? I know I can get some on trial but to be honest it takes me more than 2-3 days to audition new stuff. A lot more.

Another speaker that I have considered is the Gallo Ref 3 but the WAF is totally in the hole on that one.

BTW, I owned Maggie 3.6 before the Ushers. Yep, WAF again.

Wow you guys is tough fellas. When me grow up me wanna be just like you. Such he-men. I bet you have wimmen chasing you day and night. Poor me stuck with just one, she like me and I like her. Most unfortunate. Maybe I join you happy fellas and get divorced, I hear that real fun.
OK I will resist for now. Buying and selling speakers is a huge hassle and if one has a livable set then (speaking for myself) it is not worth trading into a 'maybe' situation.

Hey Shaman, hope you're kidding. If not, just restrict yourself to answering the question, ok? But if you ARE a marital counselor it is clear why you are giving free advice, no one would pay for that stuff.
So happy for you fellas.

Now can we get back to the speakers? OK, forget it. You guys like to talk about stuff you know about, eh, that's why you give marital advice in a speaker forum. I'm done with you shrinks. No doubt you will post here again just to get the last word. Go ahead, I can't cure what you've got.
