Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H


I'm very curious as to how these 2 compare. I had the opportunity to audition a pair of SF GP Home and was blown away by everything I heard. Not that it is too difficult for me to hear improvements from my little Axiom M3tis...I'm in the market for floorstanders and these 2 seem to be good choices. I have a Blue Circle CS and a Roksan Kandy CD player.
Anyone had the chance to audition these?
Thanks,

I am in agreement with Oz. They were too forwatd a speaker for my tastes and although the imaging and soundstageing was good..it was not exceptional or as good as VSA touted them to be. The rear tweeter was more of a nusense in the long run. I might suggest a look at the Usher Audio line. I moved to the 6381 and right away I can hear the exceptional qualities of this speaker. Smooth, dynamic and better bass than the VR2..if fact I recently heard from a member who thought( and that of a panel of listeners) the Usher X929 at $2800. Retail, was substantially better than even the 4Jr. speaker. That was their unbiased opinion and speaks well of the Ushers. :) My impression of SF Gp's were that of a slightly bright sound to my ears.
