Not being able to demo with your own setup is a challenge. Originally Posted by starlite /forum/post/0 So, you'll have to decide after you hear them yourself.

Just to give you my thought, VR-2s with my 5760 sounds great in my basement, which is quite open as well (15x40). So, in-home auditioning is, I believe, absolutely necessary to find the best combination for you, especially when you have some room issued to tame as well. I have HTR-5760 myself (I believe it is introduced around 2003 or 2004), and I had to design my whole setup around the receiver with extensive demoing to make it work. I agree that Yamaha is not as bright as it used to be, but IMHO, it is still a receiver that is quite picky in terms of what speakers it goes well with. If your dealer can't offer in-home trial, maybe it's time to go back to internet speakers and do some in-home auditioning. I personally don't understand why some local dealers don't offer the same service, but it's their choice. Can you ask your dealer to loan you a pair of VR-3s for your in-home demo for a few days? Some dealers do allow it, some don't.Īs you know, some internet companies let you try their speakers for 30 days and even pay for shipping both ways if you want to return them. The bottom line is that I'll really have to do some thorough research before making any speaker purchase. That is not really good since I will be locked into purchasing from them. There is an online store which sells the VR3s but will only EXCHANGE them for another speaker of equal or higher price. Audio showrooms rarely offer money-back guarantees on speakers if one does not like them. That is the dilemma I have been facing since I do not want to get stuck. the only way I will know for sure if I like the speaker or not is to listen to it at home. Considering all the work that would be involved, I just cannot do that.Įven if the VR3s sound great to me in the showroom. And there is no way that I will disconnect my Yamaha and bring it to the showroom. And even if they did, it would not be my model (which is four years old). I don't think the audio showroom which I plan on visiting sells Yamaha. But I definitely do not want bright sounding speakers, since my listening room is quite open. It certainly is not as bright as the RXV-1000 which I owned for a while and sold to my brother when I upgraded to the 2300. I believe Yamaha tamed the brightness of their receivers by 2003 when I purchased the RXV-2300.
