I have a problem with Von Schweikert Audio.Their products are not consistent from unit to unit.In 98 CES,VSA loaned "us" a set of VR-6s {retail:$12,500}.They were the best speakers I have heard ,period.After that show,many bought the 6s and were disappointed.Recently,a conversation with Albert {VSA}yielded the fact that that pair had special componenets,acoustic "stuffing" and heavily reinforced cabinets.None of these were included in the "stock" speaker and assembly was a little shotty.Found out that the VR-6s we used were probably worth $24,000.On the other hand,the Vandys that I have seen {2c,2ce,2ci,3A} have all been high quality sounding products.Please don't use the in-line filters,break down and buy a crossover.My vote is cast for Vandersteen.
Vandersteen 3A Sig, Von Schweikert VR-4 MOD, VR-5
I want to buy new speakers and I have to decide between Vandersteen 3A Sigs (with subs), Von Schweikert VR-5 (with heavy duty mag woofers) and Von Schweikert VR-4 Modified to 5/7 equivalence. Has anyone had experience with these speakers? I listen mostly to classical music and I want the speakers to form the nucleus of a Home Theater someday. I need advice in selecting amongst these speakers. My listening room is approximately 12 x 20 feet. I plan to use a Denon receiver (AVR 5803) and a Denon DVD 9000. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I live in a rather isolated part of the country and I am not able to audition these speakers. I have heard each and each sounds great. Cost is not a factor, just aural quality. Thanks for any input.
