Unless they are super cheap (under $500), I would wait for a pair of VLR wood.Mr. V. constantly upgrades the innards, so the more recent edition will have the most current sound (compared to new).

Ah nuts!
I was just about to get a pair. Now, I have to decide if I need to spend $3K.

I ended up with the non CT VLR's and am extremely happy with my choice.
I was using a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf before. The difference is amazing. 
The VLR's are paired with a pair of HSU subs (I forget the model).
I was going to use my old 2w subs, but my recently upgraded McCormack Micro Power Drives(made into monoblocks) gave me issues with impedance settings. So, I reinserted the HSU. I have to say the match is a good one. Well, good enough for my office-

I asked Johnny and he said since they weren't for critical listening, it wouldn't be worth the expense.-Especially as they are mounted near the ceiling, and I am listening almost underneath them.
I have to say they are very listenable, and still present a nice stage despite my poor placement/seatiing,
