Thanks all!
I decided to buy a used pair of VR4Jr mkI for around half of new price.Have not got them yet.
I like high efficiency in a speaker,but efficiency numbers don't tell it all IMO,and it seems to me from the responses I got here that despite the 92 and 94 dB efficiency of VR4SR and VR5SE they still need much power in the bass department to be driven properly.
I've had Klipschhorns with 104dB efficiency and that 15" also seemed to need more power than one should think.....
I liked what I heard from the VR4Jr mkII that I borrowed for a week or so,especially how well it worked with 2 tube push-pull amps I have that produce around 60-70 watts.
And those Jr mkII had only around 3-400 hours on them and the bass cabinet wasn't mass loaded either,so I believe they had more to offer than I heard there.Still they sounded very natural and the bass was the way I like it,articulate,fast yet rich,dynamic,punchy aso.
I'm looking forward to the Jr showing up here! :-)
Cheers
