I haven’t heard VS speakers in years, but they’ve always impressed me with their neutral and natural sound along with excellent imaging/soundstage that I put on par with some of my faves including Joseph Audio, Vandersteen, ProAc, Nola, and Usher. What sets VS apart for me is their use of a rear-firing tweeter that always intrigued me as instruments in real life project sound in all directions and so a rear driver makes some sense. I’d have to hear their latest speakers to see how their sound has evolved, but IMO they’re well worth auditioning.
Coming from Spatials you might want to give Nolas a listen as well if you can find them as they also employ a dipole design.
