Von Schweikert VR-5 SE vs Eggleston Andra II vs Av


I am looking to upgrade my speakers in the 10K to 20K USD range. The VR-5 SE and Andra are the two I am considering. Also like the Avalon acoustics Eidolon Diamond(PRICEY!!) .

Any of the users on the board could compare these speakers' characters ? Pros and Cons ?

Thanks

Great comments Oscar44.
I owned the VS SR4 MK2 and currently own the Andra 2.
The VS 5SE is a higher product line than the SR4 Mk2 so my comparison to your question will not be totally fair, but I hope my comparison helps anyway .

I totally agree the VS is more detailed. But, the treble with the rear firing tweeter/midrange can actually make things too much treble, I ended up with the rear speaker hardly on.

The Andra's have a more whole midrange sound and better defined deep bass notes.

The VS was easier to move about the room because it is in 2 seperate units . The heaviest of the 2 units being about 100 lbs.
The Andra's are one heavy 215 lb each!

Both Speakers had exceptional built quailty. I prefer the high gloss black of the Andra's however.

I had some real problems with VS customer service.
