VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room


I want to replace my Totem Forests. I'm using a DK MkII with an FMJ23 CDP. My room tends to be brightish (lots of glass and wood) and is about 19x28x14(vaulted - approx 6000+ sq. ft.). My listening tastes are eclectic with an emphasis in Jazz and Classical, but I also like to blast alittle rock now ant then. Would the VR4 SR or JR be a good match?

Other contenders include Proac R38 (there is a dealer near by) and Merlin, but I'm just at the beginning stages of this illness and am open to other suggestions ($5 to $10K range).

BTW, I have wanted to listen to a pair of VSA VR4 SR or VSA VR4 JR's based on comments on the discussion forums. However, living in the Canadian Rockies does not bode well for having access to dealers. I've now sent two E-mails to VSA to find the nearest dealer (e.g., Seattle??)across the last two weeks but have not heard a peep from them. From what I've read, VSA seems to be a good company to deal with; however, my experience is making me wonder. Any comments regarding VSA customer service?

Thanks

John, suggest that you just call them. Anyone in the office should be able to tell you about Dealer location.

I have had excellent support from them (answering my questions) over the phone.
I have had the jr's for 18 months and think that they are a real audio bargain.Well worth your effort to audition. I have never heard the Totem's, so don't know how they would compare. Your room is probably large enough for the sr.

from my experience:
biwire them
load w/ lead shot
use the spikes
allow 400+ hrs burn in time
