Von Schweikert VR-44 Aktive (90dB/8-ohm) is a high-performance speaker with powered woofers ideal for users of tube or solid-state amplifiers from 40W-250W. A four-way, single-cabinet design with a chamfered front baffle, the VR-44 uses a quasi-transmission-line, which incorporates new VSA technology in cabinet-wall construction, and OEM Scandinavian drivers. TAS reviewer Garrett Hongo found the approach inventive and the sonic results completely elegant. The VR-44 Aktive produces a bold, expressive beauty along with the capacity for delicate nuances within an impressive soundstage. Highly resolving with fantastic extension at the extremes, the speaker achieves wondrously saturated yet natural tone on instruments ranging from orchestral strings to jazz saxophones and vibes. Voices sound especially superb.  

Review:  https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/von-schweikert-audio-vr-44-aktive-loudspeaker/ 

The woofers are twin 8.8" ceramic-coated aluminum and magnesium alloy cones damped with an additional layer of electrostatically applied oxide powder. The 6" midrange driver is made from carbon-fiber and cellulose-acetate pulp, with a liquid PVC coating to reduce cone breakup. The VSA approach employs a 300W amp within the woofer cabinet that boosts the power of whatever amplifier you use, taking from that amp its first gain stage and, theoretically, also its tonal character. This internal plate amp of the Aktive has no driver stage of its own and also no RCA jack connecting it to the preamp the way a subwoofer has, but instead functions only as a power booster in an integrated loop with your main amp.
