Coincident Total Eclipse vs. Von Schweikert VR 4

I'm considering replacing my Dynaudio monitors with a floorstanding model to get a bigger voice and stronger bass. I have narrowed the list to these two speakers, Coincident Total Eclipse and Von Schweikert VR 4, based upon professional and amateur reviews. Unfortunately, neither speaker is represented anywhere near me so demonstrations are problematic. Has anyone heard these two speakers side by side?

Currently, I have an Air Tight tube preamp and amp, but soon to have a new tube amp with a high output. I primarily listen to CDs with the Muse CDP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Von Schweikert is introducing the new Vr4 Jr after the CES show in Jan - it might be worthwhile to wait - I called VS and found out it is a 2pc stacked design (shaped kind of like Avalon) with wood veneers - not cloth, a 3-way design - same drivers and freq range as Vr2 - the Jr adds a dedicated midrange, 90db sensitivity.
I owned the VR 4 Gen III and loved the presentation - the new Vr4 Jr is supposed to more closely resemble the VR4 HSE in sound.
