VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3

Von Scheikert Audio VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 with it's Gallo subwoofer amplifier (see the great review in the new Absolute Sound- cover story) . I have finally narrowed my choice in loudspeakers down to these two. The difference in the amount of money is not the issue here, but the sound is. Has anybody heard both speakers? What are your thoughts? Or does anyone just have an opinion on either one that they would like to share? My room is 13Ft. by 15 ft. It's main use is for the audio system (the TV is in another room. My amps are dual monoblock Quicksilver M80s (80 strong watts per). I like all types of creative music. I am looking for speakers with a great soundstage and imaging. I like good dynamics and low base when it is called for. Any helpful suggestions on which speaker to decide on would be greatly appreciated. I don't have the luxery to listen to either one before I order them. Thanks, Edward

The VR-4JR's are more musical and accurate than the Gallo's by a pretty good margin, IMHO.

Another thing,
Planars and ribbons are my first choice.
BUT, I personally like the Von Schweikert VR-4jr's so much that if I were purchasing a pair of box speakers under $5,000.00, the jr's would be my 1ST CHOICE! They are that impressive sounding to me. Set up and break-in are very critical to hear them at their very best, however.
On the other hand, I have not heard the VMPS RM-30's which are in the same price range, and have a very loyal following.
The excellent reviews by the publications and owners of the VR-4jr speakers are NOT HYPE at all, IMHO.
