Von Schweikert loudspeakers

Does anyone have any experience with the Von Schweikert VR4jr. mk.IIs?

I've been stalking them for awhile but just can't make up my mind. Anyone want to share their impressions?

B&W is good stuff. Never heard of Von Schweikert.

Martin Logans another great speaker maker! Heard them when I was looking at the B&W I like the cost point and sound quality of the B&W better.

ML's can be nice, but they are large and you have to have the right room for the. Move a little to far to the side and the soundstage absolutely collapses. I'm just not a big fan of electrostats, although they look really cool.

Another B&W fan here.
I have a pair of 802D's in my main theatre room and they sound AMAZING. Highly recommended.

I also have a pair of ML's for my billiards/workout room and they're very good speakers, but, as already pointed out, once you go off-axis you lose a lot of the sound quality....

Both sets are driven by Classe Audio -- another great brand...
