I just heard the VR 4 JR Anniversary at CES '08 and was very impressed. The sound seemed more lively and forward than other iterations, but I've not lived with any in the line and only heard them at shows or at a dealer's. That said, the sound was very resolving, live, and energetic without being bright or edgy. I normally prefer a more relaxed and smooth presentation, but I have to say I was impressed.
Von Schweikert VR 4 jr. Worth upgrading to MKII?
Has anyone compared the original VR4 jr with the MKII version? I am considering the upgrade and wondering if it is worth the $1000.
