New Beryllium drivers by Usher at CES2005
I wonder if Usher's Beryllium drivers will be available as replacement drivers for some of their current speakers such as the amazing CP-777, which I currently own. Not that they need any help! 
Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy?
I say go for it. As good as your Thiels are, they just aren't doing it for you. Maybe the VR-4jr's won't either but there's only one way to find out, and isn't that what this hobby is all about. The VSA's aren't chopped liver, I feel they play wit... 
Usher Audio's S-520
Mf2, Same thing happened with me and the S-520s. I really wasn't expecting much, maybe a good bedroom speaker. Imagine my surprise when they sounded better than all the other bookself monitor type speakers in my possession, including some much mor... 
Usher Audio's S-520
Hi Ken, Thanks for the response.I agree Usher is on to something extrodinary!Their cosmetics/build quality are incredible at their price point and they sound better than they look, IMHO!Back to the S-520, I guess there's not many owners here as of... 
Has anybody heard the Von Schweikert VR-7SE's
Snook2, Thanks for your response. You must be one of the first who have these babies. When we heard the 9's it was just crazy how REAL they sounded. Can you give me some info on the 7's, dimensions, make up, finish, etc.....REgards,geoh 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
Best to ignore respones such as poster about you.No matter where your from, I think it's a good idea to get as much "good" feedback from fellow audio nuts as possible.If it were me (I'm sick), why don't you go for both, try them both out, keep the... 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
Review pretty much says it all.....I haven't heard another speaker near it's price point that can better the "Jay-Rs" top to bottom. Some have a better top end (Gallo Ref3 come to mind), but the JRs mid-range & bass performance is second to no... 
Thoughts on my speaker search...kind of long......
If they fit your needs, budget and room, definately check out VMPS. The RM-40 are world-class, the RM-30 just a tick below. I haven't heard the rest of the VMPS line, yet. 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
I would say oversized spades would work best. The binding post are of a big diameter, very heavy duty.Both sets are the same size.I like the stainless steel with black base. But I haven't seen the maple base as of yet. 
Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA
I just happen to have both in house as we speak!While the VR-4JR's are well broken in, the Gallo Reference 3's are not, as of yet. Once they are completely broken in I plan to do some direct comparsions with the help of a local audiophile friend.W... 
help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500
I wouldn't scratch the VR-4JRs off your list just yet, if fact they are my personal favorites and should definately be heard!That being said I've only heard a few of the speakers on your list, obviously the VR-4JRs... also the Dynaudio, Totem, Tyl... 
Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.
Jumper "link" comes with the VR-4jr, at leastthey did with my pair 
Anyone heard the new VMPS RM30?
Haven't heard them yet but if they approach the RM40s, well... they will be very good indeed!geoh 
Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts?
Thanks for your reply Cbucki.How do you think they'll do withMcCormack upgraded Rev A ampor PS Audio HCA-2What type of speaker cables are you using? 
Good preamp suggestion for around $1000
A used McCormack RLD-1.Then at a later date have Steve McCormack upgrade it to Platinum! Best preamp "I've" ever heard.
