b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match

looking for input for new speakers for a macintosh ma6900 integrated and an arcan cd192 combo. haven't had a chance to listen to either of these speakers. both are within budget. is there a big difference between the 803d and 803s? most of the mac dealers i know of around here tend to have the b&w. von schweikerts are a little more scarce.

IMO, I would go with B&W 803 hands down. There is no question in my mind. McIntosh works incredibly well with B&W - which is no easy feat.

The VR4jr's smooth character will not be best suited by McIntosh. Mcs need transparent, detailed speakers that will allow their full glory to shine through.

I have critically listened to both speakers, three times each in various systems, and base my reasoning on this exposure. Good luck. Arthur
