Von Schweikert VR-4

I am going to audition a pair of these bad boys in a few days (the gen I), and the seller is firm on $1500 for the pair. The pics put them at about 8 out of 10 cosmetically. Assuming they are hale and whole, is that still a good deal here in the year 2015?

zoon, you're answering your own question--if your room needs treatment i'd start there (though i certainly understand the upgrade bug). you might like the vs more than your psbs, which are perfectly good speakers, but i suspect you'd get a more significant difference from tuning the room.

zoon, enjoy the vs--i recall them having quite a low end wallop. i believe they're very placement-sensitive, and you'll likely get enhanced bass performance by re-positioning/moving towards wall, etc.
