I've listened to both and liked the VR-2's the best. The highs on the Soliloquy were too agressive (not sure if they had the recommended 400+ hours of break-in or not). The VR-2's are also very detailed in the treble, but not as harsh sounding. You can toe-in the VR-2's to get pinpoint imaging but still have a huge soundstage due to the rear adjustable tweeter. The VR-2's also had a fuller, natural sounding bass but still remained extremely fast. The midrange seemed pretty close on each.
Von Schweikert VR2 or Soliloquy 6.3 ?
Does anyone have an opinion about either of the above speakers ?
I have a chance to buy them for about the same price - the Soliloquy 6.3's are being phased out for a updated line in Jan 04. I've heard the Soliloquy 5.3 and didn't think they were my cup of tea -the fit and finish of the 5.3 was incredible but I'm more concerned with the sound.
I've owned the Vr4 Gen III previously and loved them - I believe Mr Von Schweikert knows how to design speakers as good as anyone. I'm using a Jolida Hybrid 100 watt integrated amp. I listen to Classic Rock, Jazz, and whatever else hits me at the moment.
Any thoughts or comments from those who own or have heard either speaker will be appreciated.
Thank You
