I'm very familiar with both the VR-4/4.5 and PSB Gold. Both great speakers but namely for different applications. (Both use the Vifa aluminum dome tweeter.) Both are very versatile, but the PSBs do need a true muscle amp- Rowland, Levinson, or Krell; where the Schweikerts could be used with good push-pull tube amps.The Schweikerts have more of a 3-D stage, and are more-ideal for critical listening applications. The PSBs however, are virtually indestructible. Put a monster Crown amp with the PSBs, and you'll get clean **loud** reproduction, which will wow those who like to drink beer and party 'til 3 am [-;. The Schweikerts OTOH, with the right associated equipment, will keep you up late as well, but more-refined (wine instead of beer), and won't play as loud.
