VonSchweikert VR4JR vs Magenpan MG 1.6

I'm considering replacing my VR4JRs with the MG 1.6 combined with a Rel Sub. I've demoed the 1.6s in-store, without the sub, and have been quite impressed, but have not yet demoed them at home. It is a really close call for me and I plan to home-demo them in a month when I have the time. I would bi-amp the 1.6 as i have with the JRs with tubes (90 WPC)on the mid/highs and a SS amp (200 WPC) on the bass. Bi-wired (obviously) with JPS Superconductor Petites.
Meanwhile, I'm interested in the opinions of anyone who has heard both.

Do you have enough room to setup a pair of dipoles correctly? If not, I'd pass and stay with boxes.

I'm a panel guy myself, however...I would go back to boxes if I did not have a room large enough for proper placement of my dipoles.

We have a few members of the Apogee speaker users forum who live in your area (Denver?)...you could drop by that forum and ask someone for a listen, they are very good about that sort of thing.

No sub needed.
