As a dealer I live with and setup these up all the time.
There is no comparison between the sound of a VR-1 / sub and a VR-2. The VR-2 is not a VR-1 with more bass. The VR-2 is more open, has more resolution and of course springy, articulate bass to die for.
The VR-2 also need more space around it. If you can get it 4-5 feet from the back wall, you will be able to render a really deep and detailed soundstage.
If you're looking for 3D holographic sound the VR-2 goes well beyond the VR-1.
If you're more into home theatre, all LCR-15s is a step above the VR-1 for left/right channels. There is alot of bass in a VR-1 or LCR15. Use a sub for each channel in order to better phase align the left and right. There is alot of bass in a VR-1 or LCR15. You'll be mighty impressed. Still not VR-2 sound, it's different.
