How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Kevziek, your right on the money with your assessment. They are uncolored and realistic sounding. They will bring out sonic charateristics of the other components. 
Jeff Rowland amp owners: What's your pre-amp??
Manley steelhead mates well with the Model 6 
Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.?
Manley Steelhead is excellent and has top of line phonostage 
BEST 90's Audio Gear that holds its own today.
Just bought a pair of the Rowland Model 6. It is the best amp I have owned to date. Made the Manley 250's sound anemic. Could be the synergy with the Vr-7SE. I took the chance since Jeff Rowland has a high reputation and should be in business awhile 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Goatwuss Speakers in that price range are Piega c10 ltd and the 40k piega c40. These are excellent speakers but not on the bottom end. I had piega speakers for over 4 years so I am pretty familiar. I now have the VR-7SE which should not be even co... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Dynamic and definitely full range. A fun speaker to listen to all types of music. Not anemic sounding like lots of the new high end clones. Better bass than speakers costing 5 times higher 
Von Schweikert 4jr cables?
I am using the Verbatim cables with Vr -7 SE and are excellent. Bested cables 4 times there amount. Contact Paul Garner at Von Schweikert 
VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...?
I'm pretty happy with the Hyperspace/12" Anna arm and Benz ruby setup. I had the ability of a dealer come to the house a couple of times to set it up which left me at ease. He also had comments on lack of info. It doesn't need as much tweaking as ... 
Rowland vs Rowland
Thanks audiobugged. These are the most powerful sounding amps. Your right it was an ear opening experience and have had nothing close to this control of a speaker. A major surprise 
tubes or no tubes
I had very good tube amps over the past decade. Cary slm-200's, Wolcott Presence 220's, and as of a week ago the Manley Neo-classic 250's. I never could deal with the 3 month tube failure syndrome so I was turned on to the Jeff Rowland Model 6. I ... 
Preamp after Manley Steelhead?
Bwhite it did annoy me that your engineer found "cheap" parts. At $7300 retail it makes you wonder. Anyway I do love the sound of the steelhead and the great phono stage. I was leaning on rolling the stock tubes with siemens and bendix as another ... 
Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead
More updates please on the tube rolling for the Steelhead. I just replaced Manley 250's amps with 10 year Jeff rowland Model 6 driving the new Von Schweikert VR-7SE. The change was dramatically better. Manley couldn't produce enough bass or highs.... 
Rowland vs Rowland
I just bought the Rowland model 6. Although it is 10 years old is is by far the best amp I have owned. I am driving the new Von Scweikert VR-7SE. They replaced the Manley 250's and the difference was stunning. Unbelievable deep tight bass, better ... 
I want profoundly better bass
Von Schweikert Vr4 jr's may give you what you need. I had them in my room which is just as large and it almost did the trick. Big rooms need big speakers so I went to the 7's 
Can Piega P10's Be Placed Up Against The Wall?
I owned the p-10 and my room is 24x30x12 cathedral. The best placement was 8 ft from back wall and 5 feet from sides. I sat 9 feet away for optimum sound. Excellent speaker but lacked the bass I was looking for. Probably to small of speaker
