Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that?


I've had the opportunity to listen to the VR4jrs a few times, and I've come away thinking they are just too good to be true, how will they sound in my room/system, can I do better, maybe I should listen again in a different enviroment (I heard them in three different enviroments already..... all very impressive).
So I'm thinking to myself, this is it, I'll pick up a pair of the Dark Red Cherry (my favorite finish) and live happily ever after.
But then a voice whispers..... keep looking, keep listening, maybe you'll find something you like better.

So, what do you guys think of the VR4JRs?
Are they all that?

The temptation, of course, is always there to keep looking--I've done that with every single component I've ever owned. But at some point, you've got to become confident in the homework and research you've done and pull the switch. I used to own the VR-4 Jrs. before I went upsscale in the VSA line, and IMHO, after listening to VSA's much pricier offerings, I'm still convinced that they remain the best value in the company's line and, perhaps, the best value in all of audio. They do things that no 4k speaker has any right to do. The soundstaging and dynamics put a few much more expensive speakers to shame. Let's look at this way: If you don't like them, you can sell them pretty easily on Audiogon. People are lining up to snap these babies up used.
