Narrowing down floorstander selection.


I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:

Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig

If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.

I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.

My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.

I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.

Thanks for your help.

Well, you asked to narrow it down and got about 10 more speakers to consider.
happy?

hahahaha

Try to find some to audition at a dealer. If you already have, and think they all sound great and are still having a hard time deciding, then score some brownie pionts and ask the wife. see what she thinks as well.
Its been my experience (when i least need it) that women have a far superior sence of hearing.

uh oh.. i think shelby just heard me type that.
