Magnapan vs. Von Schweikert

I am considering upgrading my speakers and there is virtually nothing I can audtion in the city where I live so I have to depend on the ears of others.

A couple of well repescted AudiogoNers suggested I look into the Magnepan 3.6R when I told them I was interested in the Von Schweikert VR4. They didn't say anything bad about the VR4 they just recommended the Maggies.

If anyone has experience with either of these that might be helpful, or offer insight, I would appreciate it.

I've looked at some of the threads about both but I did not find anything that I thought applied to this particular question.

Thanks for your help.

For what it's worth I just concluded a search for speakers and was torn between the 1.6 QRs and the B&W Nautilus 805s...that was until I heard the Von Schweikert VR2s. In the under $3000 range, a few $35000 speakers too, the VR2s are the best I have heard in my area.

This whole thing started when I heard the 3.6QRs by the way. That sound stuck with me for a while. However in the same demo with the VR2s I heard the VR4 Gen III SEs. It is an absolutely amazing speaker.
