I have never heard a VR 4 SR, but the VR 4 JR is an impressive acheivement.
Albert made a mistake with that name, the "JR'S"
Albert meant Just Right, but people THINK they are Junior VR 4's, LOL

Like I said, I didn't think much of em when I first got em, even lent em to my 25 year old kid.

Got em back, and they just sat while I played with my 801's, VMPS RM 40's, and the Vortex Screen prototypes.

When all 3 speakers were down, I had nothing to listen to!
In sheer desperation, I hooked em up, and was soon blown away!

Their weakness, in my room is the two small woofers.

And, I am scared my kids will blow them up with Rap!

Plus, I have MONSTER 9.5 CU FT Subs with 15" TC Sounds drivers with 28 MM X Max driven by 1200 watt monoblocks.

The VR 4 JR's just wont play quite loud enough sometimes.
I am afraid i will hurt them in my big room.

But, with those two exceptions, and my fear of my kids playing Rap, I could listen to them forever!

You are SOO right about the rear tweeter!

They are just another good speaker w/o broken in rear tweeters.

But, get the rear tweeter broken in, get harshness out of system, and look out.
They become majic, and take on a dimensionality that is addicting.

Plus, they make everything sound at least listenable, yet really shine on great recordings.

I am working on the VMPS RM 40's as we speak.

But I keep looking at the little VR 4 JR's in the corner as I struggle to get the RM 40's sounding like I want.

What are YOU up to speaker wise these Days Quint ?

I ought to sell everything, get VR 10's and be done with it, LOL

But YOU and I both know it is NEVER done, or is it ?

Seriously, the little VR 4 JR's made me musically happy for almost two months.
By that I mean I couldn't wait to listen to my stuff again.
