How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?


Or for that matter the Von Schweikert sound in general, particularly their newer models?
What would you, Von Schweikert owners/previous owners, auditioners, consider their strengths.... weaknesses?

thx

I only heard them briefly at a dealer last year, not enough to form an opinion. But just yesterday there were 8 used pairs here on the Gon for sale. They seem to be dropping like flies recently.

I had them for a couple months... problem was for most of the time I used wire that I discovered was horrible - wire was hard conductors and took away some midbass (never was a big wire person but that opened my eyes).

I did notice they are very dynamic, can go loud quickly. Didn't spend enough time tweaking as I was running through so much different music trying them out. Top end with it's excellent detail carried through the house too much where my wife would complain yet I didn't feel it was loud. Bass was nice and deep.

I just ran out of budget and dropped back down a bracket or two.
I only heard them at the HE show in NYC - they sound rather "hi-fi" to me. But that's obviously a quick demo.
Dynamic and definitely full range. A fun speaker to listen to all types of music. Not anemic sounding like lots of the new high end clones. Better bass than speakers costing 5 times higher
I just bought a pair! The thing that captured my attention was how easily they disappear. You literally don't notice them and notice the music instead. The bass is amazing-and the complete tonal range is articulate-never harsh. You must spend a LOT of time setting them up but once they are man are they amazing!

They are very revealing, however and will not make bad recordings sound good. "What you give em is what you get"

As the manual states, “If you don’t get goose bumps they are not set up correctly!”
