Von Schweikert Audio VR-33/35

Without hearing speakers in your listening environment , buying comes down to an intelligent guess.Here’s what made up my mind to buy this hybrid: #1 reviews like this- https://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue51/vr33.htm #2 fit with my 60 watt amps which only work well with 8 ohm speakers; also have no problem with high power amps. #3 Ease of placement - these speakers are designed to either be very close to back wall or out in the room- not fussy- 3 to 20 inches #4 WAF- unobtrusive, fit in with just about any furniture #5 Forty-five minutes on the phone with Albert Von Schweikert about why he built them this way. I spent 5 years selling hi-fi. We carried product from Yamaha and Polk to Audio Research and Magnepans . So I’ve been exposed to and owned lots of equipment. I owned electro-static speakers for many years, but the custom built amp finally gave out . If you have a heavy duty amp and a large room and WAF is not a consideration, there are a large number of choices. If, like most of us, you have a small to medium sized room, an amp under 100 watts and are married, so your new speakers need to fit in, I don’t think you can beat these for the price. $2200.00 These speakers have the same circuit boards, Master Built wiring and cabinet lining as the VR-35’s which were more than 2x’s the price. Own a unique Von Schweikert at less then 1/2 the price.
