Von Schweikert VR5SE / Aerial 20T V2 ?

I've heard both. VR5SE bass is outstanding. The lower midrange was a bit muddy (could be the amp or source). Highs were exagerated (had him turn down the back-firing tweeter but that only helped a little). This was the dealers personal pair in his home. Wasn't my type of sound reproduction. I urge you to listen to this speaker with your own ears before you buy.

20T. Great speaker top to bottom. The ribbon is directional, though (the dealer pointed it out and discussed it with me). Once out of the sweet spot the sound changes character. This is a great speaker, but the directionalness would bug me. I'd like to see that speaker without the ribbon.

Why the curiosity? There was no mention as to how either sounded to a reference. I gave my opinion on what I heard in regards to that particular speaker at the time. I auditioned them about one week apart.
