Von Schweikert Audio VR-4

Does anyone have any opinion on the first generation of this speaker from around 1995? It looks like it's a little on big size space-wise, but I'm wondering how the sound quality is now quite awhile after it was released. I'm contemplating looking for a used set. Any input is appreciated. thanks

Great soundstage,very full-bodied.Very good all-around speaker.Might be best to mate it to something a little forward-not dark.

I just agreed to buy a pair locally, which I am picking up on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing how they sound with my system.

Did you do your homework and audition good speakers?

I owned the VR4 Silver from 96-99 and thought they were very good speakers indeed. They have prodigious bass capability, so don't try to fit them in a small room. And you might have to play around with tuning the ports to your room and taste. Lastly, I thought they sounded better with medium to high powered tube amps. They aren't the last word in resolution, but present a big, bold sound that is highly impressive with large scale music. You probably won't be disappointed.
