Carl: I have heard the VR-1, 2, and 4SE. I have not heard the 3. But to ask which is better is almost like asking is a Lexus sport car or a Hummer better? They are entirely different and individual tastes, preferences, and needs will dictate which is better. The VR line is authoritative, yet smooth and has very good imaging. However, I have not yet experienced a dynamic driver system that has the "magic" of planers when everything is right. The planers have a phenominal midrange--vocals can seem almost real. When you get into very expensive speakers, some dynamic drivers can create the magic--some planer systems can have "authority", but at realistic price points and speaker size there is always some give and take. Only you can decide which speakers are right for you.
