New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ???

It is hard to find a recent review of these speakers.
The few comments I been able to find on the Mk 11 version is that they are either very good or very bad.
All reviews seem to like the bass response, that is a good thing, but what about all the other qualities ?
Like treble, midrange, dynamics, soundstage , etc.

I am really interested in these (I like the way the look )but I have no way to audition them in the southeast corner of Michigan.

So, please anyone that can give an honest opinion of the speakers sonic qualities would be appreciated.

If your comments sound like a winner, I may hop on a plane to hear them somewhere.

since you live in se Michigan you owe it to yourself to audition the Salk HT3 speaker

Jim Salk uses top end drivers seemlessly integrated and placed in the most exquisite handmade cabinetry

Jim is located in Oakland Michigan

many comments on audiogon (do a search Salk HT3) or at audiocircle where there is a users group

I owned Schweikert Vortex screens - and demo'd the VR4 Gen III SE. I purchased Salks.

You really must add these to your short list

The Von Schweikerts are a great speaker and worthy of consideration. The Salks should be heard

Jim's new shop is in the Pontiac area

bring your own material and happy listening

I went with the Salks because they were less expensive, nicer cabinets, and very resolving. Both put out a very natural and well imaged presentation.
