Narrowing down floorstander selection.


I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:

Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig

If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.

I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.

My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.

I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.

Thanks for your help.

You owe it to yourself to include both the Legacy Focus 20/20 and the VMPS 40 Sig. in your above list to audition.
If you can squeeze another $2K out of your wallet, there is a pair of used Hales T-8's for sale on this site. They will blow away anything mentioned so far and are a steal at $6K. I have the T-5's and they are superior IMO across the entire listening spectrum to the Revel M20's.
FOr your tastes...Vandersteen...they sound HUGE...and with orchesral pieces...fughettaboutit!...they also plenty of low end....I wish I had your problem!

ANother sleeper...Spendor makes some awesome floorstanders too...
