Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H


I'm very curious as to how these 2 compare. I had the opportunity to audition a pair of SF GP Home and was blown away by everything I heard. Not that it is too difficult for me to hear improvements from my little Axiom M3tis...I'm in the market for floorstanders and these 2 seem to be good choices. I have a Blue Circle CS and a Roksan Kandy CD player.
Anyone had the chance to audition these?
Thanks,

I'm not a fan of SF's house sound; a little too laid back for my taste. However, I can definitely see how they would have their fans. Aesthetically, they could be the most beautiful speakers on the market and from my experience, they are supremely forgiving of the source. The VSA's are more dynamic, not as colored, and are very fast once you've got them mass loaded. While the VR2's are excellent speakers, there's no denying the JR's are better, particularly through the midrange.

I agree with TFK, you can't really lose here and if your were blown away by the SF's, get 'em.
