Von Schweikert VR-33's

Love the speakers, tired of their imposing presence in my living room.  They just don't fit in with the decor, if you know what I mean.  Gonna downsize in a rather dramatic fashion, maybe to some Totem Mani-2s or something similar.

These things weigh over 100 each, shipping is expensive - It was 250 or more from California when I bought them new this past spring.  Total cost was about 4200 if I recall - that included tax and delivery.  While I'd rather not ship them, I will.  Have the boxes etc.

I can post pics, but they're these exact speakers from this review, in perfect shape:

Glowing reviews are spot on.  I've listened to these a lot the past few months and absolutely get lost in their sound, just not in love with the size.  I'll take a hit on them, but no lowballers please. They list for $3800.  I'd like to get $3400.  Make an offer but please, nothing insulting.  If you live within a couple hundred mile radius, save yourself an additional 250 or more by driving here to pick them up.  I'll even meet you at a midway point up to a couple hundred miles tops.

Thanks -

I heard these at T.H.E. Show back in June.  They're some of my favorite speakers in the show.  You get a lot of speaker for the money.

That's a really great way of putting it.  I'm auditioning the Totem Mani-2's right now as a possible replacement. And while these are very very good speakers, especially considering their size, "they ain't no VR33's!".

Plus they cost about $1500 more!  But they are smaller and aesthetics have become more important to me than I thought they would.

One speaker you should audition based on the glowing reviews is the Fritz Carbon 7.  At less than $2000 it a steal.
