Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.

To ELB:
I once owned the Innersound Eros, big brother to Isis, keep in mind the sweat spot for the Innersound electrostats are about a foot wide. I kid you not. I also once owned Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III and thought they were great -- I'm sure the VR4 Jr's are excellent as well, although I wouldn't consider VS now that I've learned they are made in China.

Semi: Quite an intelligent reply to Rob, I agree with you, I will not purchase products made in China for both quality and political reasons, mostly political the truth be told.

And frankly, the folks at Von Schweikert can talk all they want about 'how much more their speakers would cost' had they been made in America, or 'the savings are being passed along to the consumer'. I don't believe consumers are gaining any financial benefit by Von Schweikert outsourcing their products to workers in a country that earn $1.00 an hour - probably less. If at all possible, I'll invest my money in products that are made in America.

Just my 2 cents - where others invest their money is their choice.

BTW: I own/use a Mac G-4 computer.

Best Regards
