What don't you like about these speakers?

I will soon be able to audition the following speakers: Von Schweikert VR-2, Gallo Reference 3.1, and the Dynaudio Focus 220. My limit is $3000. I am not going to consider other speakers. I am not going to buy used. I want to support the retail audio shops. I live far enough away that I will have to drive 3 hours to Kansas City to a dealer who has all three set up. These speakers all get rave press and positives here, however, I am interested more in the opinions of those who didn't like them. I have Dynaudio 70s, which I like, but want to step up to an even better speaker. It's easy to get lots of positives, after all, we like what we listen to and have spent good money to buy. If there are specific problem areas, I would be interested to hear about them. Thank you in advance for your replies.

If you plan to purchase the Gallos & use them with the Dynaco 70, you should sharpen your pencil & see if you can fit the SA in the mix.

In terms of auditioning, I'd be ready to switch the Gallos Left for Right... in some roooms & setups, they sound very different with the woofers in versus woofers out... (I'd also get the Isorock GR stands). If the dealer has the SA hooked up, you might want to play... it took me a long time to dial in the right set up in my room)

I respectfully disagree with Tpsonic... the Gallos are quite happy with Maccormack DNA 0.5's with much less power. TP is right on with the reflectivity of the room affecting tone & setup up "challenges" with the SA.
