Von Schweikert Audio VR-4

I'm flying blind on this one - the reviews I could find all sounded pretty positive, and they are (relatively) cheap, so I figured I might as well give them a go. I just sold an amp, so I figured why not. Of course, now I'll have something like 5 pairs of speakers, but hey, one of these days I'll get around to selling some them...

I just agreed to buy a pair locally, which I am picking up on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing how they sound with my system.

I got them on Saturday, but didn't get a chance to hook them up until last night. I nearly killed myself getting them up to my 4th floor condo, but am glad I did. They sound great - only problem is they really have some serious bass, which I am kind of worried may bug my neighbors, since I could hear them on the landing outside my apartment even though they didn't sound very loud. But they do sound pretty awesome with the krell stuff. I would describe them as very musical - I'm listening to some Sigur Ros right now, and it sounds great. They sound better at lower volumes than my dali's, and they really sing when turned up too. I'm happy with the purchase.

I've actually decided to part with these speakers due to size issues - if anyone is interested in getting them, I've listed it on the for sale section of audiogon. They do sound great, but they really are too big for a one bedroom apartment, or at least one where I live with somebody else.
