By the way, I called VSA yesterday to have them email me a PDF of the manual. (PM if you want one) and there are two new upgrades that you can have done to your original VR-4jr: MKII and MKIII for $995 and $2,500, respectively.
From VSA:
We have two upgrades available:
VR-4 JR to VR-4 JR Mk2 – at $995/pr we have new woofers and midrange speakers.
VR-4 JR to VR-4 JR Mk3 “EuroMod” - at $2,500 we rebuild the entire speaker system and install all new parts – everything except for the outside of the cabinet. All speakers, crossovers, and internal damping is changed to our latest spec. See attached Mk3 EuroMod info sheet for the wealth of information on this exciting new upgrade!
VR-4 JR Mk3
“Euro- Model”
Due to the demand for extreme quality combined with small size to fit the newer life style, the VR-4 JR Mk3 Anniversary has been designed on the small platform previously called the “JR” model. However, the Anniversary Model is highly upgraded and is hand-built at our California factory. Using premium Scanspeak drivers made in Denmark, the sound quality will exceed your expectations for speakers selling in the $25,000 price category. Our Triple-Wall cabinet design eliminates the colorations found in MDF cabinets, with an internal layer of damping stones absorbing the vibration.
With dimensions similar to a mini-monitor mounted on a stand, the new VR-4 Anniversary Model can be used in rooms as small as 8x10 feet and will reproduce bass power below 30Hz. Transparency exceeds any planar available due to the European-designed Drive Units and our famous VSA crossovers!
