Hi all - I have a pair of VR-2's rated 8 for age - made in 2004. One tiny ding on the very bottom left side plinth that you have to really look for - see pics on my audiogon ad here:
http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1303575006&/Von-Schweikert-VR-2---price-dr. Other than that they're in excellent shape. I have the original boxes and manual. Fantastic speaker.
I'm the second owner. I've driven them with 1) Jolida 502b, 2) BAT VK-60, 3) Wyred4Sound ST-500. All sounded very, very nice, oftentimes breathtaking. These feature the adjustable rear-firing tweeter which adds to the highs. Very cool especially with "tubeofiles". I used it at about 2/3 for tubes, and close to zero for solid state. It's a nice feature to have.
I'm asking a fair $1200.
They're currently boxed andready to ship. I took out the sand so they weigh about 65 lbs.
I accept Visa and MasterCard, Paypal and check. If you pay my asking price I'll split shipping and any credit card fees with you. Check out my perfect rating on my Audiogon page as well.
