Narrowing down floorstander selection.


I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:

Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig

If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.

I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.

My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.

I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.

Thanks for your help.

Have you considered the Revel F30 or the smaller M20 speakers?

Both are good, the F30 is full range and the M20 is smaller and has decent bass, but not really full range.

The F30 used goes for about $2-3K, and the M20 used goes for about $1,500.

You might want to give them a listen. Good sound and good build quality.

Good Luck in your search.
