I have the similar VR-33 and like them a lot. They are great all round speakers for music and home theater, and occupy a small footprint for their size as they are designed to go close to the front wall. If I was buying today I would seriously consider the VR-22, especially for a modest size room. They look like great value. However, you might find it difficult to audition as it's only available factory direct and it's quite new, but there is some information over at Audiocircle in case you haven't seen it.
