FS - Von Schweikert VR-2. SOLD!
« on: 7 Mar 2011, 03:29 pm »
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.

I'm taking delivery on the new VR-33's today, so these need to go.


Thanks everyone -

Good luck with your sale, and the new 33's. I owned a pair of VR-2's many years ago and thought they were great. I have heard of people doing mods to these speakers that take their performance to an even higher level.

Someone is going to get a great pair of speakers for little money. I can't think of any new $1200 speakers that can even come close to the VR-2's. Good luck.

How about a review of the VR-33's when they get settled in?

Thanks Gents -

VR-33's were delivered earlier today.  While they sound nice - and seem bigger than I imagined - they do need a bit of time  to "mature".  Kinda cool that they're just 6" or so from the back wall. 

I'll post something on the Von Schweikert circle in a couple weeks.

Best -
