Nice pair of Von Schweikert VR2s including original boxes and manual. and spikes

Selling a really nice pair of Von Schweikert VR2s including original boxes and manual. and spikes These were purchased between 2006 and 2009 and are the beautiful African Hazelwood cabinets. They work perfectly and look very sharp. There are a couple of real slight dings and a couple of scratches . I tried to capture these in the pictures but overall they look stunning in a room and do not take up much space at all..

There are a number of very good reviews of this speakers online. One would be hard pressed to find a speaker of this size that goes down to 25HZ but these do. Very impressive bass with a very transparent soundstage The speaker can be tuned to the room using the rear firing tweeter which has its own level control . You can also add sand or lead shot to the buttom cavity to tune the bass. These have lead shot in them but it will be removed prior to shipping as it adds 30lbs to each speaker. A good all around speaker. Club polk Asking $695 or BO I am in MN As I have the boxes shipping is no problem Thanks

    O-M-G!!! These are my FAVORITE speakers!!!

    The African Hazelwood is absolutely gorgeous and they sound amazing!!! If I hadn't just purchased a whole set of new speakers, I'd be all over this. The rear firing speaker is a mid / tweeter called an ambiance driver IIRC and it works. These speakers dig surprising deep given their small footprint, due in large part to the transmission line bass enclosure. At this price, they are a flat out steal.
