Hi Mainer8,
I think you will be happy with your purchase. I have the vr 4 gen iii's that I have never really been satisfied with in comparsion to my other speakers. However I believe it to be my room and set-up more than the speakers. I have a good friend who has the original vr 4 like you purchased, being driven by rogue magnum 120 amps and I clearly have enjoyed many nights listening to his. So I don't know if the old sounds better than the new, but it does in my case.
Hope they work great for you.
