VR4 Gen 3 HSE VS. VR4 SR

70.51.124.87

Posted by m e t on March 2, 2007 at 03:07:35

There seems to be quite a few people who prefer the HSE to the newer SR model. I have both here right now and I must say that the difference is not miniscule and I do prefer the HSE. It is more neutral and has a deeper, wider soundstage. The biggest difference is the transparency in the mids. Perhaps this is why the HSE was the longest lasting 4 model from Von Schweikert. Now neither is as good as the reviews, no they don't compete with $20,000 speakers, but they certainly, the HSE in particular, more than holds it's own against the WP I have on hand.
With used HSE around $3500 it's a good buy.
