Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts?

I am using Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval ICs and Speaker Wire. It's a pleasant, neutral cable.
Your amp choices are really unlimited with these speakers.
It will really come down to your personal sonic preferemces.

I won't go into detail, but my dealer told me that Von Schweikert only made 100 of these off the bat and they are incredibly in demand. They approach the vr 4 gen III, and for the price are an absolute value. Mine aren't even broken in yet, but I think these speakers are on the threshhold of the high end vs value curve. In other words, they are amazing for $4k. I want to go nuts and say they are the most incredible speaker, but I know that's just my emotions talking, I couldn't be happier and they only have 20 hours on them. Not even close to broken in. Enough said.

I've had my pair for about 2 months now and they really are fantastic speakers. Seems to be a lot of commonality here with electronics and cables. I'm using a BAT VK300se integrated with Analysis Plus Solo crystal cable and IC's. I've also filled the cavities with play sand (a 50lb bag with suffice for the pair). The sound is detailed, warm and dynamic.

I just came from the Audio Show @the Hilton in N.Y.
I spoked with Albert V.S. a nice man also cool. The speaker V.S. VR-4jr blew me away,inlove at first sight. I even took cd's with to test a few speakers, but these speaker sound wise stood tall over all the rest for the size although out of my price range. Albert gave me an Ideal he said use the payment plan via the credit card. so I going to clear some of the c.c. Either trade,sell or etc my Definitive Tech BP2002TL and catch up with the Big Boy. I cannot get over how these these Von Schweikert VR-4jr sound and I heard alot of HighEnd Speakers and other Audio Electronics. I also went to Las Vegas CES and THE SHOW this Year Jan 2004. If any one hear of any discount let me know. Still inlove with Von Schweikert VR-4jr Speakers.

Well Stephen,

Mine are breaking in still and still trying to find the right placement (only downside to VS speakers but who cares) - the detail and soundstage and... are absolutely amazing. I could hear noises I thought were coming from outside and I hit pause to look. The noise stopped. It was actually the musicians in the symphony moving thier chairs, taking a breath before playing, etc and it was almost scary.

I still can't believe this is available for $4k. I just bought 100lbs of lead shot to put in it today that should improve them even more. I talked to Kevin and he said for the show that you went to they used 50lbs of lead shot for each speaker and they highly recommend doing that. Just an FYI when you get yours. It should make a big improvement.
