Von Schweikert VR4jr or Tyler Lynbrook system II


Considering these two speakers. I have know way to audition either speaker system. I listen to all types of music and like to play it loud on occasions. My electronics consists of a Sony 9000es dvd/cd player, McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe and an Outlaw pre/pro. My room is quite large and I will be about 9 feet away from the speakers. They will need to be close the wall behind them, however no side walls. Thanks for any reponses. Other speakers choices welcome...

Others considered
VR2- not sure of dynamics and slam
Thiel 3.6- difficult to drive
Dunlavy sc4 - very large and only 1 sweet spot.

Well, I definitely preferred the Tylers to the 4JRs, but the they can be somewhat finicky on electronics as they are very revealing speakers... I have tried the Outlaw pre-pro with Tylers before (Linbrook System (original)), and it was not a good fit, IMO as it tended to make the Tylers sound flat compared to what I know they are capable of (it may sound good enough to someone who has not heard them at their best, but once you have, it is hard to go back). I personally would recommend a different pre/pro if going with the Linbrook System II. I can't speak to the 4JRs with the Outlaw pre/pro though, as I heard them on different electronics.
