Von Schweikert opinion and help.

Hi,

I have an opportunity to purchase a still new in the box pair of VR4SR- MKII speakers in african hazelwood finish for about $5,000. Is there another set of speakers new in that price range that would compare favorably or is this a deal that is too good to pass up? I understand that it is a discontinued model as the MKIII is now available. I called the factory and they said that an upgrade is available for $4,000 if I wanted to do so in the future.

Please help quickly, as I have to make up my mind fast.

I owned one for a while. Mine sucked quite a bit of power. The tweeters went out shortly there after.
Von Schweikert woould not cover them even though they were still under a 12 year warranty. They said the tweeters must have ben over driven. Huh???
Anyway because of that I purchased new tweeters and then sold the VR4SR- MKII's.
Lousy company to do buisness with.

Shakeydeal, Yes, I sort of agree.
That is why I went ahead and paid for the tweeters, but in order to get them to play even moderately loud, I had to crank the volume up quite a bit.
Compared to my previous speakers, Legacy Focus and my present speakers, Andra 2 the VR4's really were not too efficient.
