The originals are the better if you have decent electronics. The upgrade to II was due to some of the original drivers were no longer being made because of a hazardous manufacturing process. The Mark II's were "dumbed down" a bit as some thought they were to revealing with sub-prime electronics. VSA uses (mainly) Pass gear to voice their lineup. If you have not so great electronics these may be the way to go. I do not know the story of the upgrade to III.

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.
