I think that you should listen before making a decision . In my experience , the VS , Usher and Paradigm all have a different sound !
I have auditioned the Usher standmount , 520 I believe , and the next in line floorstander , maybe 6311 . Both of these were quite glaring and in your face . Not bright or forward just kind of wow here we are ! I'm not saying that they were bad so no flames please ! Just the polar opposite of VS .
On the same equipment and room , I auditioned the VS VR2 and 4jr. More subdued and laid back .
I have also auditioned several of the Paradigm standmounts , at a different shop , and found them to be sort of in the middle between the Usher's and the VS's .
Good luck .
