A good buddy owns two pair of VR4jr's, so I'm familiar with the sound. This past Sunday, we spent four hours with Jim Salk listening to a pair of HT-3's and talking about audio. I can report that HT-3's are made with top-flight drivers and crossovers, and they look beautiful and sound exquisite. IMHO, these speakers are in a much higher league than 4jr's, e,g., more comparable to Vandie 5A's in performance and way better looking than Vandie's, too. The price-to-value ratio is off the scale. I understand that Jim Salk is a musician and recording engineer, so he has a lifetime of audio experience. My impression is that these speakers are a labor of love for Jim, who seems to be a real mensch in the camp of the straight-shooters. My buddy and I both want to buy a pair of HT-3's before Jim raises the prices so he can make a living. Note: I have no affiliation with Salk Sound.
