ABSOLUTELY WORTH A DRIVE TO AUDITION!!!
I finally have 100 hours on my VR2's and I love them. I think all speakers take some work to place properly, these being no exception. And let's face it, your room is probably the cause of atleast 50% of the sound you hear. I auditioned a pair of well broken in VR2's in a very well treated room and loved them. My living room is not nearly as well treated and they still sound awesome. I only have them 1.5 feet from the back wall. Could they sound better in a better environment, I know they could! Which is great because I love these speakers in a less than ideal placement setting -- so I know I am going to love them when I finally get them in a better room. Break-in is a must, and so is filling the bottom chamber with sand or shot. I love these speakers!
I listen to a wider variety of music at all different volumes. My system: McIntosh MA6900, MCD 205, MR 85 -- Sony XA777ES -- Kimber KCAG and 8TC.
Good Luck
