Von Schweikert VR4 JR and Krell 400xi?

I have heard so much about the VRs and was about to buy a used set but alas, during my due dilegence on the web, found someone stating that the Krell I own and the VR would be a bad match.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I be looking into a different speaker selection? Thanks,

I drive my VR4jrs with a Krell KRC HR pre-amp & FPB300c power amps. Sound is great, balanced tonally, 3D, airy with good bass (after loading with metallised sand - I wanted to avoid lead). I am not familiar with the 400xi but suspect that it may be less mellow than the FPB300c. One thing, you will find the VR4jr will handle much better amps than the 400xi. It really is an excellent speaker, and fantastic value.
Hope this helps.
