Von Schweikerts' vr4 gen III HSE vs vr4 Jrs?

I agree with Tvad and Arkio. The HSEs are far better than the Jrs and somewhat better than the original Srs. Haven't heard the Mark II version, so can't say for that one.

No, not interesting at all. This is actually pretty normal.

I keep seeing references to this, but my HSEs have a front firing port that is completely covered by the wrap around grill cloth. My original VR4s were rear ported and the port was exposed. They benefited greatly by adding extra stuffing to the cabinet. But I wouldn't change a thing about the bass response I am gettting from the HSEs in my room. It is far better than the original version, and better than most any other speaker that has come and gone since then.
