In Reply to: Thanks to Von Schwekert, critical audiophile neuroses has been reduced to a minimum posted by gme109 on January 10, 2015 at 15:38:09:
A few years back I brought home a pair of Von Schwekert loudspeakers for a demo. They passed a truncated (as the shop was closing an hour earlier than scheduled) sanity check demo in the shop and the dealer was kind enough to let me try them in my system. Unfortunately, after my initial excitement with the speakers (VR4's I think, in the $3000+ price range) I found them to be somewhat out of sync when it came to some recordings (relative to the Spendor SP100s I had and still have). I would have discovered this in shop with one of the two unlistened to demo disks I never got to during the demo (Patty Griffin - Flaming Red). An Aussie recording of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap set me on the the VR4s discontinuity. I passed on the Von Schwekerts and took a chance with a used pair of Living Voice Avatars. A decision that eventually I was pleased to have made.That said the VR4s were very good indeed and in some ways at some times better than both the Spendors and the Living Voice speakers. I'm now beginning to consider a short list for a 3rd high quality system - one where bass extension and loudness are more important.
Anyway thanks for reminding me to be sure to check out this excellent manufacturers current products before my next purchasing decision.
