Von Schweikert VR-4 RIP…..what’s next?

I don’t know about today, but the Audax midrange was still available a few years ago. One of them was making a noise that I thought was coming from the tweeter, so I replaced the tweeters with ScanSpeak tweeters that are better than the oem Vifa tweeters that are no longer available.  I did find some NOS Vifa tweeters on eBay, but I prefer the ScanSpeak.

It’s my understanding that the bass drivers were specially made for Von Schweikert and are no longer available.  Mine are still good, so I didn’t look for a possible replacement. 

These Ushers are definitely worth a look.  Best of luck.

laginz - Okay, I'm going to keep it simple. Take a look at Tekton Designs Ulfberht, Symphony or Encore.

One of my friends (that I gained from sneaking my personal info to on this site) has them. They are amazing. One of his tweeters is blown, he intends to restore them, I have to wonder if others out there have sources. They are going to be hard to move on from. Best of luck deciding.

I heard those Ushers, playing my familiar music, in a terrific space, they were quite impressive.
