Question For Von Schweikert VR4 Jr Owners


I am interested in this speaker, however due to listening room constraints, they would need to be close to the rear wall, 12 inches max. I probably would want to shut off the rear tweeter because of the placement close to the wall and so I wonder if you do the same and if it doesn't affect the sound too appreciably. Thanks

Let me preface this by saying this is a question more than a statement. I'm not trying to contradict anyone here, but rather understand the speaker better.

I thought the JR is a transmission line, and as such, the "port energy" is much less than a normal ported enclosure. So, I ask - is it really going to be as much of a problem as described here?

Other transmission line speakers I have (three pairs) have almost no port energy due to the packing of the chambers, and the VR explanation of their transmission lines seem to indicate this is true of theirs too.
