The VR2 is a little on the warmer side than the Arro, which has a leaner sound. You may need a sub with the Arro if you require deep bass extension.
However, as mentioned above, the Arro images like no other speaker. It's holographic and life-like. The midrange and highs are remarkably clear, and the bass is actually not bad for a speaker its size. It's one of the best speakers I've ever owned. The Bryston should power it beautifully, although I think the Arro's sound even better with tubes.
The Arro's will also have more latitude for placement. You can put them just about anywhere in a room and they will sound great. The VR2's are more sensitive to placement.
Ultimately it comes down to your personal tastes, but my unquestioned choice is the Arro. As a side benefit, the Arro's keep their value well on the used market and should you ever decide to sell it, you will have 20 offers for it on the day you list your ad. That shouldn't be your only consideration, of course, but it's a nice bonus.
