Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype?

The discussion threads and forum occasionally make special note about the Von Schweikert VR-1 monitor speaker. Reviews I have read of this vintage speaker are very good. The speaker was issued in 1998, yet has built up a cult aura around its performance. I am curious if this admiration is justified or just nostalgic hype, considering the advances made in monitor speakers in the last 10 years which sell for less even new. Monitor speakers were never Von Schweikert's forte. Thanks

I would put them in the same category as Green Mountain Audio speakers.

Sunnyjim, With your discussions on Von Schweikert VR-1s and you even ran a "want to buy" ad on Audiogon for VR-1s I thought by now you would either bite the bullet or move on to another speaker.

Shakeydeal, I currently own both at similar price point. Just different flavors.
