Even though this belated input may not be too helpful to the original posting of the Strauss' characteristics... I do agree with the above poster as to the VSA vr4 jr ATTRIBUTES.
I'm a fiddler/tweaker too. that rear firing adjustable tweeter can either convolute things, or add dimensionality. Placement comes first... RF tweeter comes last. Albert V. said to me just leave that RFT alone Turn it off. Get things the way you like position wise, then play with it... or not. I barely have mine engaged. Maybe a quarter to half an inch up from the 'off' position... and the front drivers are at 53 inches from the wal behing them. No room treatments as yet. Soon. I'm sure that Room Treatemnts will be a big help overall, regardless the set of speakers I wind up with in the end..
I too would like some more input as to the Strauss... though the height of them concerns me.... nearly 46 inches! Woah. Kind of imposing. My room is just shy of 14 ft. wide. and a little over 20 ft. long... the units will sit on the 14 ft width.
Anyone have thoughts either yay, or nay about this possible move? My main reason for this notion of going with the VA Strauss, over the VR4 JR is to gain both bottom end, and volume... along with a bit richer more full sounding set of loudspeakers, as I think maybe they'll also work better with the BAT gear I've in place now... but I do like the JR's... they are indeed an outstanding value and most competent units. Just want 'more', I suppose.
