What is the difference between VR-M and VR?
A. The major differences between the VR-M and VR can be found in driver and cabinet construction, and cabinet finish. The VRM drivers uses cast aluminum baskets, compared to the stamped steel baskets used in VR. A cast basket will have less resonance than a stamped basket. Resonance, when severe, can cause coloration of the sound. Using cast baskets in the midrange and bass drivers lowers the possibility of this, ensuring as true a reproduction as possible. In addition, cast baskets are better at dissipating heat, thereby increasing the overall long-term power handling capabilities of the VR-M speakers. The cabinet of the VR-M speakers is finished in real ash or cherry hardwood veneer, creating a furniture grade appearance. The VR, while still looking very attractive, uses a vinyl finish. In addition, VR-M cabinets are made of thicker panels with more extensive internal bracing. This reduces the amount of coloration attributable to the cabinet itself. TOP Q.
