Hey, Ka7niq:

I agree with you about the JRs. I had a loaner pair while my VR-9s were being built, and my friends couldn't believe how good they were. But, as you indicated, the rear tweeter is THE key. Without it, it's a pretty run-of-the mill speaker, IMO. Same holds true for my Gen IIIs. With the rear tweet properly dialed and burned in, it's a totally different beast, with a spatial dimensionality that's pretty impressive. Not sure where Albert went wrong with the SR, but I'm not impressed, even with the MK II.
