Greg and Justin,

what can i say? as my review/article/ramble mentioned; the only current product on the market that likely can go farther down my road is the VR11SE. things just presented themselves in a way that the opportunity was there to get the VR11's. so i took it.

i have no less love for the VR9's......they are basically the most balanced, capable audio product i've used......without a weakness. every attribute of the VR11's is present in the VR9's......simply to some degree less.

so 'why' the VR11's? 2 years ago at CES when i heard the VR9's and VR11's for the first time (and only time for the VR11's) i was very impressed with everything about the VR9's......i had never heard a speaker with the top to bottom dynamics and coherence of the VR9's. i could not imagine what more the VR11's could do.

then i heard the VR11's and the word 'effortless' attained a whole new context. it reminded me of the first time i played music on my Rockport Sirius III. you imagine how it might sound but simply cannot be prepared for that next level of performance. 'stunning' might be a good word. i had been all jazzed up by the 9's......then with the 11's all i could say was 'oh my god'.......'you gotta be kidding'. at the same time both the 9's and the 11's sounded like crap at that CES at certain times. both speakers really need considerable fine tuning. even though i knew i liked them i knew i had my work cut out for me to get everything out of them.

now that i am comfortable with the whole design approach and adjustment process with the VR9 i am confident i can optimize the 11's.

the 11's have twice the cone surface of the 9's, and are an easier load for my amps......so i will get more clarity and articulation with considerably increased dynamics and ease. with 4 1000 watt 15' subs instead of 2, bass control and slam will be 'silly' good. the bass enclosures are more optimally designed on the 11's for better accuracy. the crossovers in the 11's use a little more uncompromised approach.

considering the design of my room i expect to be able to harness all that neat stuff.

i hope i answered your question.

a week ago i shipped the VR9SE's to the new owner. i recieved a set of loaner VR7SE's until my VR11's arrive. thursday night i set up the '7's and am breaking them in as i type this. they do most things very close to the '9's and the remarkable thing about the '7's and the '9's as well.....they are soooo balanced. just like the '9's they do it all; deep articulate bass, clarity and punch in the mids, natural and extended highs with the right amount of sparkle and see-thru transparency.

it might be that i am so familiar with the Von Schweikerts but the '7's seem much easier to set up. i am enjoying them more now after 5 days than i did with the '9's in the first 6 months. my darTZeel amps are plenty in my very large well-damped room. these are great speakers.

the drivers are not yet broken in but they go deep and are completely coherent.

Det handler vel om prioritering gjør det ikke ? Mener jeg leste på et eller annet forum (athens hifiklubb?  ) for noen år siden at han jobbet som selger hos en hifipusher.

Dersom de negative kommentarer fra "theStig" angående VR2 i en tidligere topic, er representative for lydfilosofien til Von Schweikert, er jeg i tvil om dette merket er så suverent som enkelte påstår?
Kommentarer fra andre ???

He currently lists a new pair of VR-10s with 10-year warranty

for $49,500/pr instead of $85,000 - a significant savings. To get this price, you merely promise to donate a working HiFi component to a charity of your choice - on the honor system.​
