Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1


Which should I get to replace my B&W N802. VSA VR-4SR v1, v2 or Revel Ultima Studio v1?
Thank you

I owned the VS SR Mark ll's for a while.
First the tweeters blew. Though they had a 12 year warranty, VS said the warranty would not cover it because the damage had to be caused by overdriving the tweeters.
So, I had to pay for the replacement tweeters!
They were $40 each. Cheap...

I also thought the VS SR Mark ll's required quite a bit of power. My Pass Labs X350.5 Amp meters were bouncing with moderate sound levels.

I eventually sold them for my present Andra 11 speakers.
My Amp runs cooler and I have never had a problem with power or with the Tweeters.

In comparison to the VS tweeters, the Andra 11's Tweeters cost almost a $800 a pair.
