Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Asking for Comment: Von Schweikert Audio VR-5 SE vs VR-4 SR MK II

I have never heard the VR 4 SR Quint, but I really like the VR 4 Jr's.
Though I have owned them for a long time, I never really gave them a chance.
My Son conned me out of them when they were but a month old.
He recently moved away, and I got them back, fully broken in.

Honestly, they surprised the heck out of me!

The TRICK to them is to get ANY harshness out of your system..
Then, and only then can you run the rear tweeters up.

W/O it's rear tweeter playing IMO, the VR 4 JR is just another good speaker.
But, IMO it really needs it's rear tweeter to become magick.

It also needs low inductance wire on it's upper drivers, or it can be a tad dark.

As you know, i have many pairs of high end speakers, and the VR 4JR's won't be my final purchase.
Nothing ever is for me, LOL

But I think it is an outstanding design.

Many make the mistake during break in of not turning the rear tweeter all the way up so it can fully break in.

But, when the rear tweeter and the rest of the speaker is fully broken in, I find them to be insanely musical, and a good buy.
