Perkri,
If your question is how do the DI's compare to the VSA VR-33's I can shed some light on that as I own both. The 33's took forever to break in--almost sent them back. But after 300hr they evolved into a very nice speaker. Easy to drive, they sound very nice with tubes or SS. The BIG advantage for some is that this speaker was designed to sound great up against the front wall. So in some situations this is a big advantage. I have them in a large open room and they sound far better with a seated position towards the rear of the room. This is not a speaker that sounds great in near field applications. They really open up when there is more reflected sound
The DI's however best the 33's in just about every other respect. The DI's are a bit more dynamic, have better clarity and detail, have much better impact in the bass and midbass. I would never listen to the DI's up against the front wall. Pulled well out into the room and maximizing first arrival information they image beautifully and outclass the 33's here too.
Both these speakers are excellent values for the money. The 33's have have fewer higher quality drivers and a much better dead cabinet. But the DI's, despite their economy cabinet, win out overall. Driver quality is good to very good--but the key to the great sound is in the driver implementation/tweeter array.
