WTB: Von Schweikert Speakers
« on: 25 Nov 2008, 07:16 pm »
I have read a lot about these speakers, and while there are noteable competitors, one just has to make a decision.  I can't afford to buy new ones or even their most recent models pre-owned, so I am looking for original or updated VR models like the 3 and 4 series.  If anyone wants to give me a shout on that, please email me.

Ray

P.S.  I have B&W 802 Matrix powered by Levinson 20.5 monoblocks, Mac C220 Pre, Classe CD and SOTA turntable.

Hi Ray,
I'm also curious where you live - I have a pr of VR4JRs, MkI, that I've been thinking of swapping for something different. Purchased as demos from Channel Island Audio.

I have the crates but it'll be $$ to ship. If you are near NJ/PA, you are welcome to come by and listen. Even if you are not very interested in buying them (I'd do them for below $2K) I'd be happy to let you hear them so you can add a data point to your noggin'.

OK, that's west coast and an east coast invite - Midwest's turn  :thumb:

Charlie, thanks for the invite!!   But unfortunately, I won't be on the west coast soon.


Mike, or anyone for that matter, you can email me at rkissner at aol dot com.  Mike, I would like to take you up on your offer to listen to your speakers.  Thanks much.

Ray

Ray:

 Anytime you come this way stop by for a listen. These speakers are not going anywhere. WELL!!!!!  Maybe over my dead body.

                                            Cheers

I wanted to say a big Thank You to all of you on this posting for your help and words finding speakers.  I did up my ante and went searching for the VR4 SR Mk I.  You folks are extremely helpful and I hope to return the favor.

Note to self and VS lovers... VR 4 SRs with crates BARELY fit into an X5.

Mike, me thinks I got your email, but for some reason, i might have deleted it, if you can resend, that would be great... RKissner@aol.com.
