Saw VR4GenIII on used sale locally.

I am worried that it will overwhelm my room.

I am prepared to DIY my own bass traps around 2 back wall corners.

What do you guys think? Wait for VR4Jr, VR2?


Thanks.

Pfft, that's an easy one...VR11's all the way, forget those pansy 4 jr's or 2's.


Honestly though that's a tuff question...I've seen people with large $5,000-$12,000 speakers stuffed into small rooms, but I don't know how optimal that is. Whether it's really negating the sound attributes of the speaker or if it doesn't matter that much.

Though if it were me and I was serious about either speaker, I would try to get the dealer to move both into a small room that perhaps is around the same size as yours, then A/B them and base purchase off that. Better yet, see if dealer would let you take both home and try them both out to find out.


If that it isn't possible, then I would think the VR2's might be the better choice considering their size and the size of your room.

I've got VR4's in a 12x18 room. They look big in here, but they sound great!


You've got to give them room to breath, so expect to have them sitting out at least a couple feet from the back wall, make sure you acount for this as you deliberate.
