New Von Schweikert Models

I received the new VR -7 SE about 10 days ago. They are absolutely phenomenal. I have a fairly large room (32x20) and for the first time a speaker can fill the room with big dynamics and yet have delicacy and opulence. They are a must hear.

What are you driving them with, including source?

Congratulations on your purchase!!

Snooks2,
How do the new VR-7s sound? Do you like them? Could you please compare the VR-7 with others speakers.
Thanks.

I am using Manley 250's and the Steelhead pre. Audio aero CapitoleII and Nottingham Hyperspace turntable. They are the best sounding speakers by a good margin over what I have been listening to over the past 15 years. Other top end speakers I have had did always something negative. Some were too bright or had an excellent midrange and the bass was rolled off or too much bass, the usual caveats. The VR -7 seem to have it all correct and still be very musical. It is a big speaker with a BIG sound

I just returned from CES (1 day only this year) and had a chance to hear the dB99's, VR4jrs, VR4Sr, and VR9's.
I must say, the new 4Srs are stunning and considering the sonics,,, reasonably priced. "Best of Show" goes to VSA using the 9's (I did not listen to the 11's), set up in a 2pr multichannel configuration using EmmLabs, DartZel, etc. Kudo's to the VSA team AND supporting cast, in addition to the above mfg.'s,,, VAC, Oracle, Opera and several others. Spending the day visiting rooms displaying equipment housed in less than ideal listening environments, the Von Schweikerts were absolute standouts being the first and last rooms I visited. All models shown (spread over 7-8 rooms) were knockouts!
