About the VR.50
The Von Schweikert VR.50 is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker from Von Schweikert Audio, previously known as the VR-55 Mk II SE. It is a 4-way passive design using dual 8.5-inch ceramic woofers, a ceramic midrange driver, a beryllium tweeter, and a rear-firing ribbon ambient retrieval tweeter for wide soundstage and holographic imaging. It appears to be a current model on the manufacturer’s site, so it is not marked as discontinued.
