tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802
Krellm7,I can’t comment on Linbrook speakers since I’ve never heard them before. However, not every likes the sound of B&W speakers. In personal evaluation of B&W 700 and 800 series, I find them way too bright, dry, emotionally uninvolving... 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
VR-4JR’s are not lacking transparency and dynamics. It’s the McIntosh amp that’s holding them back. I’ve auditioned McIntosh amp with VR-4JR’s and Pro-Ac response 25 and felt the amp was too slow, too mellow and not engaging for my taste. This amp... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
It’s very sad how so many dealers dump as many speakers that are pushed against the wall and expect us to learn about the true qualities of a particular speaker. To qualify my point further, I was in a store looking at different amps and have stum... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
If VR-4JR’s are not set-up right, they will not produce the best imaging... Due to my poor room layout it took me 2 months to position them right. I’m now rewarded not only by excellent imaging but also a 3-dimontional soundstage. 
Von Schweikert VR4JR Set Up
Maril555,My room is sensitive to toe-in settings. As of now, the front of each speaker is pushed-in 1/4". Also, eash VR-4JR speaker is filled with 50 pounds of #8 lead shot. Best regards,Alex

Correction,I sit 13' away from the front wall.Best regards,Alex 
Von Schweikert VR4JR Set Up
I’m a very happy owner of Von Schweikert VR-4JR, LCR-15 and TS-150 speakers.Correlated pink noise helped me obtain the best possible center image and sound stage. My room is 11’ 8” wide, 29’ long. Where the length of my room is partially separated... 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
Pmi_Guy,I so pleased with VR-4JR’s bass response that I actually turn-off my Velodyne DD-12 in the 2-channel music mode. The bass was amazing when I auditioned VR-4JR’s with Rogue M150 mono blocks… Even my Oulaw 1050 receiver the VR-4JR’s are not ... 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
Sherpalumbo,My speakers are placed on the short wall, 42” from the front wall and 16” from the sidewalls. I ended-up spreading VR-4jr about 9 feet apart in order to get decent center image. My room is 11’ 8” wide and 29’ long, where the kitchen co... 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
Jonsher,I’m not sure there’s a best speaker that would please everyone. I’ve auditioned many speakers prior to purchasing Von Schweikert VR-4jr, LCR-15, TS-150 speakers and a Velodyne DD-12 Subwoofer. I chose VR-4jr’s for the following reasons:1. ... 
Von Schweikert VR-4 GEN.III SE -VS- VR-4 JR?
Lanny,I had a chance to compare both. The JR’s have about 80% sound quality of the VR-4 Gen III-SE’s. The VR-4 Gen III SE’s are much larger speakers and would not fit in my family room. I bought VR-4JR’s, LCR-15 and TS-150. For home theater LCR-15... 
Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Hi Rotabel,Do you feel Cary Cinema 5 is a good match for the VR-4JR’s? Can you please describe their combined traits? (Bright? Warm? Dynamic? Musical? Clinical?) What electronics have you finally settled-on?I had VR-4JR’s/LCR-15/TS-15 for 2 months... 
Anybody hear the Von Schweikert VR-4jr at CES?
I've been using VR-4JR, LCR-15 and TS-150 for the last 2 months. These speakers sound wonderful. They don’t have overly pronounced bass or sound out of balance. If they sound out balance, then I would focus on the room acoustics interaction or hid... 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Trelja, your response puzzles me. I went out and compared VR-2 to VR-4jr speakers. All I can tell you is that I was blown away with VR-4jr’s. VR-4Jr’s were driven by the Gamut CD 1 CD Player, Rogue M-150 Monoblocks, and Ninety-Nine MAGNUM preampli... 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Hi Trelja,I’m thinking of buying Von Schweikert VR-4jr speaker. What attributes you didn’t like about the VR-4jr sound? Please explain your findings to help me make a better purchasing decision.Best regards,Alex_G
