Von Schweikert 4 Jrs, Rear Tweeter settings?


The folks that have these are deal with them, how do you set the rear tweeter? That is what level do you find best.

I have turned it off at times but I feel something lacking then. But there is a hint of smearing when its on.

Do you bi-wire these? Does it make very much difference?

Please tell me of your experiences with them.

THanks,

I own both the VR4 Gen IIISE, VR4jr, and the 2. For front channel use, I never use the rear tweeter, feeling that damage is done to image solidity and focus. (I also do not really like any dipole for this reason, feeling the back wave of any driver is technically 100% distortion. No matter how "spacious" the sound becomes).
Although, I do use the rear tweeter on the rear channels, feeling it does indeed add some space behind the listener. Go figure...
Main surround system, NO PICTURE, SACD only, is the 4SE's in front, 4jr's in the rear, no center.
