Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA


Good Day All,

I have read a number of post with regard to these two speakers, but many are fairly old and before the Gallo's were even officially released. I am now trying to get as much input as possible on comparing these. Please not that it is between the VR4-Jr and the Gallo Reference 3 WITH THE SUBWOOFER AMP. Without considering the price difference ($4000 for VR4-Jr vs $3400 for Ref 3 and SA) and without alternative suggestions, would anyone who has been able to listen to these two please post their opinions, comments, experiences etc.

With Thanks and Regards,
X

Cinematic_systems: because Vivid audio is extremely expensive. For the same price they are asking for their floorstander I would rather looking into something like a Diva Utopia or Wilson Sophia or Dynaudio C4 etc. You are talking about the equivalent of over $10k, nearer to $15k actually.
Sorry thought they might be less expensive in South Africa, atleast near the VSR and Gallo's assuming they cost a bit more imported.
Yeah, I hoped they would have been. But even if they were 5-10% less than overseas it wouldn't help much. They are simply in a higher league than the VSA and Gallo's. I have heard these and they are just incredible! To give you an indication of price, they are currently only distributed here and in Europe (US only beginning to mid 2006) and there the smaller speaker in the range (B1) retails for nearly 8000 pounds!
