I had a pair of the Von Schweikert VR33 which are the same but with the lesser quality crossover and not set up for bi-wiring. One of the worst speakers I ever owned. I got sucked in by the ad that a 3750.00 speaker sounds as good as a 15,000 pair, and also because Greg Weaver who I respect as a reviewer gushed all over them. In my living room, 5 inches from the wall, there was absolutely NO bass, nada, nothing. I moved them and the furniture all over the living room and yet the bass was not there. This was after having lived with a pair of Vandersteen 2ce sig speakers for a few years. My non audiophile wife remarked on many occasions if I had turned the bass off. I kept them for a year and found myself not listening to the system at all, preferring to listen to my office system upstairs instead. I finally sold them for 1400.00 at a huge loss and bought GE Triton Ones and the bass was back. I liked the GE speakers so much that when the Triton References came out I bought a pair of them and moved the Triton Ones upstairs to my office system.
The funny thing is the guy I sold the Von Schweikerts to LOVED them and gave me a personal call, thanking me for selling them to him. Go figure.
