For me the metal B&W tweeter calls too much attention to itself on too much music, and I much prefer the more refined sound of the VA silk dome tweeters. Although I find midrange/bass to be comparable between the two, I find the VA speakers throw off a larger and more realistic soundstage.
That said, I do find the VA speakers to be just a bit dark sounding. I would highly recommend looking at the Silverline Sonatina II(or Sonata used), Soliloquy 6.2, Triangle Ventis, and Audio Physic Tempo III(or Virgo used). They do everything the others do while providing more detail and insight into the performance than the VA while avoiding the harshness the B&W can sometimes exhibit. If you hear any of these and still prefer the B&W or VA, you know you're on the right track. Best of luck.
