coincident total eclipses/von schweikert gen 3 hse

I am about to decide btw these two speakers.

Coincident Total Eclipses or
Von Schweikert Gen 3 HSE

I will change the other components according to my speaker choice.

I mainly listen to classic music and jazz.

Any help or experience would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean VR-4 GenIII's? If so I compared the two in one of the forum topics going back. I still have both but prefer the VR4 GenIII's. My listening tastes are newer style jazz (with good solid drumming and bass) and classical.

Thank you Byfo. It really helped.
It seems that I am moving towards vr4 gen3. Similarly I own a 1009 antique sound as you are. Do you think 60 watts are enough to drive VR4's??

Pardon me for jumping in (I own VR4 Gen III HSE). I don't believe 60 wpc is enough to drive them sufficiently...especially in the bass region.

Yes, 60wpc will drive them, and you might like the sound, but they will be cleaner and more controlled with more power.

I'd recommend 100wpc minimum.
