I use the VR-4 Gen IIIs in my second system, and I had a pair of the JRs on loan while my VR-9s were being built. I thought the JRs imaged and disappeared a bit better, but the Gen IIIs were more dynamic, had deeper and tighter bass, and were somewhat more detailed at the extremes. As for looks, the JR is a beautiful speaker--I received many compliments about it--but something about the "ugly duckling" nature of the IIIs appeals to me. I just think it's a more "interesting" looking speaker. You should probably be able to get a pretty sweet deal on a used pair of the IIIs now. If you can, I'd seriously consider that as an option.
Von Schweikert VR-4 GEN.III SE -VS- VR-4 JR?
Hello,
Has anyone out there heard or compared head-to-head the Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen.III SE and the Von Schweikert VR-4 JR?
If so, what are the sonic differences, sonic advantages, and sonic disadvantages of them in comparison to one another?
Is the VR-4 Gen.III SE worth the extra money over the VR-4 JR?
Finally, has anyone heard the new VR-4?
Thanks alot.
