I heard the VR22's at this year's RMAF. They're more revealing (and demanding) of upstream components than the VR33's and will serve well to judge equipment as your system evolves. The VR22's impressed me to the point that I purchased a pair for a college graduation present. I think they're a great buy at the price. If you audition the VR22's, they'll need several weeks of break-in unless VSA gives them a head start for you before shipping.
