Von Schweikert VR-33

Can anyone who has actually heard them offers some feedback on there sonic traits? I have speakers which I really love in a well thought out, emotional system, but recent room layout changes have reignited an ongoing speaker placement battle which I'm growing quite tired of.

The thought of placing these things a foot or less away from the wall without concerns about toe or anything like that is exteremly appealing.

Anyone with ACTUAL experience, please share your thoughts. I'd rather this thread not dissolve into crap like the prior vr33 thread.

Gopher,

I wish you the bets of luck with the speakers. I have owned three of Albert's designs, the original VR-4 (Silver Version), the VR2 and the VR4 HSE. I know he can make a quality product, so you will likely be impressed if your amp is up to the task.

I owned a pair of the original VR4 Silvers back in the mid 90s. That was a great speaker and I was actually using a Music Reference RM-9 to drive them so it's no wonder you thought that amp sounded good on the VR-33s. Albert makes a good speaker and I think they shine with a good tube amp.

So you buy a pair of speakers that you've never heard, and want to pair them with an amp that you are pretty sure won't drive them? Do you see anything at all wrong with this picture?

>well integrated base<

Is this something the speaker is mounted to, then coupled to the floor?

Well I guess those VR-33s aren't going to work out for you?

RM-9 = 100/channel.
