Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ??

I have the original Verity Audio Parsifal speakers. I'm planning on replacing them with Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III's. My question is this: Do you guys think this is an upgrade or a downgrade? Am I making a mistake?

In appearance and size, the Verity wins. I've never listened to them in the same room nor with the same equipment. I have a Gamut D200 amp so there is no problem driving both speakers. My listening room is 20' X 15' I want to hear from somebody who has experience with these two speakers or opinion.

Hi Jaybo, and thanks for your thoughts. Yes, all opinions are important,
and welcome...especially when they are supported with the reasons that
form them because it's then that the opinions are the most helpful.

Just so I am clear on the issue of place of manufacture, it's my
understanding that the VR4 Gen III HSE is/was made in California (unlike
some of VS's other loudpseakers). Is that your understanding, too?

My belief is based on having to wait a few extra days for shipment of my
VS's from El Cajon, CA because the laquer had not yet dried on the end
caps.

tvad ..i believe you are correct. you guys should always try and buy what makes you happy on a purely emotional level......there's a world of things that cost a fortune that i wish we could live without(new airconditioning in arizona as an example).
