I don't know if anyone can tell you how one speaker sounds compared to another. I am sympathetic. I lived in Wyoming before moving to rural Missouri. I just bought the Von Schweikert VR-4 JRs and love them. Unfortunately, I know of no dealer that has a return policy for either speaker. The trick would be to audition both (buy and return?) in your home. I took a chance and bought the 4-JRs through an internet dealer. Who knows, maybe if you bought both used, you could turn around and sell the one you don't like on Audiogon. Good luck!
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Hi All,'
Alas, I live in a place where it's almost impossible to easily audition the audio gear I lust for. I'm very soon going to be in the market for a new primary pair of speakers, and I know I love the Thiel sound. Any thoughts on how they compare to Von Schweikerts as a rule? I'd be looking for speakers that retail new for under $3500 or 4K
As usual, muchos gracias,
