Hey there Sedona,
I'm currently trying to decide between the VR2's and several other candidates, mostly costing a little more.
I'm new to the audiophile thing, but for what its worth the VR2's are on my short list. They wern't set up as recommended in the demo I heard them in, (you're supposed to fill them with sand or lead shot, and these weren't), but even so, to my ears, the base is articulate,solid and punchy, yet they sound nicely musical. Another caveat- I concentrated on big orchestra classical stuff in my demo, and less rock and jazz.
I havn't heard the Soliloquy 6.3's, so I cant comment on those.
Of speakers I've heard, Vandersteen 2eSigs or 3aSigs would be very high on my list for jazz, but they're less adept at classic rock. I suspect a lot of nice speakers will have trouble with the rock since recording practices tend to be a little whacked in that genre.
Good luck.
