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.

Demar,
I have both the VR2 and Linbrook signature 2 piece system. I agree with Cford, you need more than 12" if you want the VR4 to sing. They are designed with rear ambiance tweeter and they are there for a reason. Turning the ambiance tweeter down or off, you will loose some of the characteristics sound known for VSA line of speakers. Linbrook are front ported and i think its a better choice for your setup. My Linbrook Signature 2 piece is rear ported and connected to Anthem AVM30 for HT and Blue Circle BC3 for 2 channel, i have a pair of H20 biamping my speakers. Hope this helps.
