Is this nuts?

Ok, have had Usher 8871 for about 3 years. LOVE the sound, love the looks. For some reason (audiophilia nervosa, of course) am having the urge to try the VSA VR4Jr, having heard so much about it. It is a considerably smaller speaker than the 8871, and the WAF would be assuaged by that.

But, given the price diff in msrp (4K vs 8+K) would I be trading down? I know I can get some on trial but to be honest it takes me more than 2-3 days to audition new stuff. A lot more.

Another speaker that I have considered is the Gallo Ref 3 but the WAF is totally in the hole on that one.

BTW, I owned Maggie 3.6 before the Ushers. Yep, WAF again.

OK I will resist for now. Buying and selling speakers is a huge hassle and if one has a livable set then (speaking for myself) it is not worth trading into a 'maybe' situation.

Hey Shaman, hope you're kidding. If not, just restrict yourself to answering the question, ok? But if you ARE a marital counselor it is clear why you are giving free advice, no one would pay for that stuff.

Time to reprioritize. Forget focusing on new speakers it's all about upgrading the wife. You can choose from a variety of models and specs. including, blonde, tall, brunette, short, raven, curvey, redhead, slender, auburn and even gray if you're into the older editions. Remind the Mrs. there's plenty of product in the marketplace, some of which is faster, sturdier, newer, and more attractive. Take her on a tour of your house and show her each exit and remind her that she's free to use any door she'd like as long as her bags are fully packed.
