This is not a speaker review, not even a VSA review at all, but in reading this review of a Pass Labs integrated:

I ran across this statement:
Quote
Thanks to a generous audiophile friend, a few weeks before posting this review, I was the recipient of a short-term loan of some older versions of  high-order Von Schweikert Audio/Masterbuilt cables: Bi-wire speaker cables, XLR interconnects, and a power cord. I was somewhat shocked (and frankly, a bit dismayed), that the improvement in my system was so obvious. Increased clarity, a further expansion of space, and better focus for starters... While the speaker cables and IC's made definite difference, it was the power cord plugged into the INT-60 that took my system to a new level of performance. These cables are not in my personal budget,  but readers should be aware that even though I have thoroughly enjoyed the INT-60 in my modest system, the amp had untapped potential that these cables brought to the fore.

Ultra 55s got a glowing review (including measurements) in the June issue of Stereophile:

Not sure I remember a formal review there before of a VSA speaker, timing is poignant.

It's interesting that theabsolutesound states the sensitivity at 90db with 8 ohm impedance aktive version while the VS site states 88db and 4 ohms, needing 200 watts min. power.  Maybe it has been slightly redesigned in 5 years and requires more power than in 2015 or theabsolutesound got it wrong (probably the latter).

I'm trying find out the difference between the VR 4 SR and VR4 SR MKII or III. Has anybody listened to both or know what upgrades were done by Albert.

Thx
