New Von Schweikert VR 33?

Hey Chadnliz
I don't think I am touchy... just don't like when uninformed people slam a product or a company based on a 10 minute audition (if that) or heresay. I would defend any company in the same manner. Have a nice day :)

Back to the music

you presume alot....but your never wrong I am sure....2 friends owned VS speakers in our audio club but that woulnt fit nicely in your box of assumptions.

Just an FYI

I saw this review on Stereomojo about the Von Schwikert VR-33 speakers. I thought it may be of some help.

StereoMojo VS VR-33 review

We should be mindful and appreciative of everyone's individual tastes and perceptions so as to participate in a positive and meaningful way.

I have owned VSA VR5 HSE's for some 6 years now and have been an audiophile for some 40 years. This gives me no special insight other than a lot of experience listening to different speakers over the course of the years, both in my own systems and in those of friends neighbors and audio shows.

The VSA speakers I own have stood the test of time. I do not think about replacing them. In fact,I hardly think about the at all any longer, other than to admire their stately beauty. They listed for $12,000 when new and are the most transparent, neutral, "invisible" speakers I have heard at anywhere near that price or dollar equivalents from bygone days. They also look brand new.

So how anyone who has to VSA speakers can call them mediocre is beyond me. And whether or not a specialty high end audio business is successful depends on many factors aside from the quality of the products. As scientists say: Correlation is not causation!
