Review: Zentara Reference II Bi-Wire Speaker cable
I've had the Zentara's for about a year a half. I replaced the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 cables and found the Zentara's seem to remove many layers of veiling to really let my Von Schweikert VR 4sr speakers sing. I very much concur with your fin... 
Von Schweikert VR-5 vs Revel Salon2
I have not been able to compare the two. There is a forum for Von Schweikert owners and those interested at Audio Circle.com. Go to Owner Circles and then the Von Schweikert Audio group. There are many VR5 owners that post there they should be abl... 
Sonus Faber Cremona VS VR-4 sr??????????
Both speakers are very musical and enjoyable to listen to. The Von Schweikert's would have the edge in dynamics and mabe a bit more detail. I went with the VR4sr mk2. Enjoy your search. Blessings, Bob 
Von Schweikert speakers..
Hello Es347, I own the VR4sr mk2 and enjoy them. They are detailed, dynamic, and most importantly musical. You will be getting a great speaker. It's all about the enjoyment of the music. Bob  
From Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 to ?
RMAF is a month away if you can make it you may find something special. What I recommend may not be your cup of tea but in your situation a potent small speaker may be best. Blessings, Bob 
Amp for VR4SR
To add something to the mix I am running my 4sr's with a 16 watt Art Audio Carissa with great results in a 15x17 room. It depends on how loud you want to play. I think the quality of the amp and its power supply are key. The speaker will repeat wh... 
Any Grado Warranty/Service Issues?
They will take care of you. Be a little patient. I had a cartridge start to go out one month after the warranty expired and they sent me a new cartridge. It is my experience that they will take care of their customers. Blessings, Bob 
High efficiency speakers
I am using a 16 watt Art Audio Carissa to drive the 92 db Von Schweikert VR4sr mk2. This is a great match. The VS speakers higher up in the line are more efficient and all are full range. Hope this helps.Blessings, Bob 
Any B&W 802D/800D alternatives looks and sound?
Have you looked at Von Schweikert? The VR4SR MK2 will out perform the B&W. Looks are personal but the sleeker styling of the VS speakers IMHO looks much better. The VS VR5 Anniversary is another sonic step up with the same footprint as the VR4... 
Best speakers ever 4 small room?
For small rooms The Unifield 3 by Von Schweikert is awsome. I just had a listening session and was very impressed. I will be posting soon on what I heard. In your situation they would be well worth checking out. There was a recent thread about the... 
How would you run an audio salon?
I wonder if an in home store for high quality two channel sound would work. If there were more stores with lower overhead it could be that more people could be introduced to hi end audio. Friendly personal service always is a key to building a cus... 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
Thanks for the responses. I will be going to So. Cal. next week to the Von Schweikert showroom to listen to the 3's. I will post my opinions. Thanks again, Bob 
Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx
If I may add another speaker to the list I would check out the Von Schweikert VR5 Anniversary. Great dynamics and details without the tilted up treble. Most of all a supremely musical presentation. May be worth a look for you.Blessings, Bob 
SET or OTL to drive Gallo 3.1's Recommendations?
I am driving my VS VR4jr 89db 6ohm with the 16 watt 845 based Art Audio Carissa. I'm getting far more dynamic sound tham with the ARC Classic 60. The power supply and output transformers make a big difference.Blessings, Bob 
Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs?
Yes if you stuff the port you will give Albert Von Schweikert a heart attack! Just kidding. But the speaker is not designed to have the port stuffed only the cabinet. You can also take some of the Dacron out from behind the drivers by unscrewing t...
