VR-1 or Onix Reference 1??

I would be very circumspect about believing a post on the Onix website which purports to place the Onix above the VR-1. The post tries to be balanced and fair, but after all it is posted on the company's website. If the poster felt that the VR-1 was better, it would not have been posted there, but perhaps on an independent site. Let your ears be the judge. Primus Audio in Kansas City let me have a trial in my home of the VR-1s. If you could arrange for this and a trial of the Onix in your own home, the decision would be much more easily made, and with less second-guessing.

I did not audition the Onix, but did the VR-1. I could have sent it back, but I really love this speaker! No doubt that Onix makes high quality equipment, but so does Von Schweikert. Other equipment: Creek 5350SE, Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler, home made cables, REL Q108 sub. I added the sub later for frequencies below 45Hz. Listening tastes: jazz, classical, folk and some rock. Search posts hear for other opinions as well.
