Goatwuss,
How big was the room you used these in?
BP's argument as I understand it is that the VSMs are optimal for a smaller 12X12 room like the OPs.
My experience based on other highly regarded smaller monitors I have heard including my own in similar size rooms tells me that may not be the case if the goal is meat on the bones in addition to all the other good stuff I know good smaller monitors can deliver. Small monitors are an excellent fit for smaller rooms in most regards but not necessarily optimal from a "meat on the bones" perspective.
