Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III or B&W 802?

I am setting up my home theater room and would like to upgrade my speakers for stereo listening. My system consists of the following:

Plinius CD-LAD pre-amp
Plinius SA-250 power amp
Sony DVP-9000ES DVD player (used as a CD player)
Harmonic Technology Pro-silway II cables
Synegistic Research AC Master Coupler / Reference Coupler power cord

I'm contemplating on B&W 802 or Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen III which is strongly recommended by my good friend. It is a tough decision for me since I have not listened to VR-4 Gen III but the price compare to 802 is a steal.

Any suggestion? I listen to jazz, vocal, string and pop music.

Thanks,
Patrick
