New Von Schweikert VR 33?


Interested in buying this speaker, not sold on dealers only direct from VSA so can't audition it. Anybody own or listened to them? Please, your thought.

Yes, 90 days...but you are on the hook for shipping which ain't cheap at over 100 lbs apiece.

I talked to Albert Von Schweikert and he said only one pair has been returned so far, and they were unopened, guy got a divorce and couldn't keep them.

I have a pair on order and will be getting them in a couple of weeks.
The only thing I suggest about V.S. speakers is that there just isnt much to them, no game changer, no cuting edge tech and they just dont stand out in the industry. I am in no way saying they are bad....they are just plain and unremarkable.
There are advantages to an in-home audition - especially one that can be done over 1-2 months. VS is not the only company to offer this to its customers. Yes, shipping is not cheap. And, yes, the return process is a pain in the butt. However, IMHO, the ability to assess speaker-room interaction and to use your own front end more than makes up for the cost and hassle if you choose to return the speakers. (Conversely, I suspect that potential "keepers" who are on the fence may opt not to return the speakers because of return shipping cost and hassle.)
”they are just plain and unremarkable” ..... In your opinion dude.

I and MANY others disagree. The 4JRs that I still have in my secondary system are beyond reproach and I struggled long and hard to find a better speaker, including some highly regarded Proac 3.8 I did a side by side with (at that time they were 3x the price). Wasn’t even close for me, the VS were that good.

My VS 5 anniversaries.... unremarkable??? I would put those speakers up against pretty much anything out there.

VS make some kick ass speakers, and at their various price points there is little that compares (IMO)

Cheers and good listening.
Wow your a touchy one!
Ofcourse its my opinion.....thats forums 101. I auditioned the 4 Maybe 5 yrs ago and it was ok but nothing special for my tastes. If you and others like them then its all good, just dont take it personal when others dont.
