UsedMeadowlark "Heron" i vs Von Schweikert VR-4G3?


I have an opportunity of buying from a friend going through a divorce either a "used" pair of Meadowlark Heron"i" or used Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen3. (the Vons are about $200 less) I have a living room that is approx 15X20 with a 10 ft sloped ceiling. I have only read one review on the 'Larks; I like the Von Schweikert design, but the rear firing tweeter which functions as an "ambient recovery system" seems hoaky and similar to the OHM, Mirage, and early Infinity speaker devices. I know there are many VSA fans out in Audiogon land, but I would like to hear all opinions.FYI: I have an Aragon 4004MK2 amp and Conrad Johnson PV-8 which has been modified for lower noise and is a killer pre-amp. Please advise and Thank you, Jimbo

I AM CURRENTLY USING MY VR6'S WITH THE REAR TWEETERS TURNED OFF.THATS THE BEAUTY OF THE REAR TWEETER:ITS THERE IF YOU NEED IT.MY DEDICATED LISTENING ROOM IS ONLY 24X17 AND DO NOT NEED THE REAR TWEETER ON.THE VR4 IS ALOT OF SPEAKER FOR THE MONEY,THATS MY VOTE.
