Wanted VSA VR-S/1 Subwoofer in African Hazelwood
« on: 19 Jan 2013, 01:32 pm »
Hello VSA owners.

I am looking for a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1 in African Hazelwood for sale.
It doesn't need to be mint condition!

I have a VSA Center in African Hazelwood and a pair of TS-150 in African Hwood.
This makes it a 3.0 Surround system, need VR-1 and later on a VR-S/1 to make a 5.1 system  :icon_lol:

I live in Sweden, so international shipping is needed.

Thanks for looking!

She is apparently selling another pair in a different finish and say she is keeping a pair - so perhaps she does have one - http://app.audiogon.com/listings/monitors-von-schweikert-vr-1-maple-monitors-2013-02-05-speakers-45241

Thank you all for your reply!
I have contacted TargetHifi already.
I was contacted by one guy in Canada who had a pair, but the shipping went ballistic.

Perhaps in the end it will be a pair of wrong color, beggars can't be choosers!  :?

Finally I have a pair of VR-1 from a gentleman in Texas all the way to Sweden.  :D

The Hunt for the mini sub VR-S/1 in African Hazelwood continues as topic now describes.

I have a pair of African Hazelwood VSA subs (sorry- not for sale) with a pair of Zebra Wood 5's and it looks good. I have black granite slabs on top of the subs which helps them blend. I actually got the granite to help with the sonics, and at that time IU had matching African Hazelwood 4's. I guess my point is with a little creativity you can make different veneers work together. BTW- I LOVE my 2 VSA subs!

We found a brand new VR-S/1 in the popular African Hazelwood.  It is still in the factory sealed box, hiding in the back of our giant warehouse. We did not know that we had this in stock until this morning, when we read your post on AC . Please contact us at <albert@vonschweikert.com> for price.
