Is this nuts?

Ok, have had Usher 8871 for about 3 years. LOVE the sound, love the looks. For some reason (audiophilia nervosa, of course) am having the urge to try the VSA VR4Jr, having heard so much about it. It is a considerably smaller speaker than the 8871, and the WAF would be assuaged by that.

But, given the price diff in msrp (4K vs 8+K) would I be trading down? I know I can get some on trial but to be honest it takes me more than 2-3 days to audition new stuff. A lot more.

Another speaker that I have considered is the Gallo Ref 3 but the WAF is totally in the hole on that one.

BTW, I owned Maggie 3.6 before the Ushers. Yep, WAF again.

I was going to discuss what I think of the Gallo Refs but after Shaman's entry, think I'll go beat my wife instead...

The Gallo Ref 3's are a steal for the price but until Ladies Home Journal does a favorable review on them they are out for me.

OK I will resist for now. Buying and selling speakers is a huge hassle and if one has a livable set then (speaking for myself) it is not worth trading into a 'maybe' situation.

Hey Shaman, hope you're kidding. If not, just restrict yourself to answering the question, ok? But if you ARE a marital counselor it is clear why you are giving free advice, no one would pay for that stuff.
