tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?
I run mine with Quicksilver M80 tube monoblocks (80 watts per) and they sound great. They don't seem to be lacking in power at all with the VR4-jr. I recommend looking into the Quicksilver V4 tube monoblocks (conservatively rated at 120 watts per)... 
New jazz CD's of interest
Thanks Scott! Edward 
what speakers for 4k or less new or used
Von Schweikert VR4jr($4,000 New). You should check them out. They sound awsome with the Quicksilver M80 monoblocks(Plenty of power). I would love to hear them with the V4 monoblocks and hopefully will!

Call up Krell and ask them.

Hello again. Thanks very much for your opinions of both speakers. How would you respond to the not so positive remarks on the VR4jrs on the speaker forum post 'Who makes a "true" transmission line speaker?' Thanks again,Edward. 
Neil Young Song "Let's Roll" where can I find It?
Neil Young's "Are You Passionate" album is one of my favorate albums. His guitar playing on it is absolutely beautiful.I love it. Just listen to it a few times. Also Booker T. Jones plays on it which is pretty cool. 
B&W exposed tweeter on top design....
I have the B$W DM7 Mark 2 speakers that were made in 1979 and cost $1,500 then new. They have the exposed tweeter on top and the yellow kevlar midrange. They still sound great! 
Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.
How do they compare to the Totem Forrests, Innersound Isis, or Magnepan 3.6. All are speakers in the genreal price range ($3,000 to $4,500). I am considering all five of these. Thanks.

Totem speakers 
Totem or B&W?
Call Totem and ask how your electronics will mate with their speakers. There is a good chance that you will talk to Vince , the designer. 
B&W vs Martin Logan
Why not add the Martin Logan Descent sub to your system for extra body? 
Coincident Total Eclipses or Inner Sound Eros Mark
