Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range

Hey Y'all,

I agree with Swampwalker, Von Schweikert Audio is a very good choice for your preference in music. Over the last two years, I've become a big Von Schweikert fan. I've heard all the new models from the VR-2 to the VR-11. There is not a weak sounding speaker in the entire line. I currently have the original VR-4s as my main fronts, the VR-2s as my rears and a LCR-15 for my center. I listen to basically the same music as you do and I'm absolutely giddy with the performance of my system. I recommend you get a listen to what Von Schweikert Audio has to offer, you will not be disappointed.........John

look into the tyler acoustic speakers. they are factory direct. you can call them and ask to speak to ty lashbrook. i have two pairs of their speakers and they are at least to my ears the finest speaker i have had. by the way you are not paying the HUGE markup costs of a non factory direct speaker as well. at the 2005 T.H.E. SHOW, robert e. greene from the absolute sound rated the speakers and company as one of the best at show. if you can, try get the diapollito design speakers. the design works great in most rooms. all you need is to match the size of your room with the right speakers.

And...what kind of amp are you running? In what size room?

I would strongly recommend Zu Cable's Druid: I auditioned the Definition recently (above your price range) and they rock out, great quality and very under priced. The Druid's are in your price range: great thing about both are very high sensitivity so you have felxibility with amps.

Another would be Anthony Gallo's Reference. Fantastic and again extremely good and competitive at its price.

In fact I have made the same two recommendations to a friend who is embarking on setting up his two channel system: first foray into the high end. Both in mind are giant killers though sound very different.

For a great all around speaker that lets you hear the music and not the speaker, check out the Von Schweikert audio line. If your budget can extend to the JR4's, that would give you an excellent base for your music.
