Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ??

OK I don't want to start a flame war. I know you either love Wilson speakers or you hate them. I'm in the market for a pair of speakers. I have a dedicated room that is 19W x 25L x 10H. I'm looking for a pair of speakers I can keep for a bit so I am going to lay out some hard earned cash. With this being said I have listened to a pair of Wilson Maxx II a couple of times and they are quite nice. I feel I need to compare them to other speakers in the same category. Any suggestions on speakers I should listen too before making my decision?

Thanks for your time.

Dbk:

The VR-8s were Von Schweikert's flagship some years ago. I had a chance to hear a pair in New York, and at the time, they were the best speakers I'd ever heard. I wasn't aware that they were upgradeable to VR-9 status, though, as a previous poster indicated.

I agree with the VR-7 suggestion. The new 7s were reportedly built to compete with the Wilson Alexandria, which costs 125k! I know someone who's heard both, and according to him, the comparison isn't nearly as absurd as it sounds. If you can stretch to the VR-9s--which I and several other 'Goners own--even better. I compared the 9s to the Maxx 2s, and my decision was an easy one. The VSAs are pretty special.
