I have read a lot about these speakers, and while there are noteable competitors, one just has to make a decision. I can't afford to buy new ones or even their most recent models pre-owned, so I am looking for original or updated VR models like the 3 and 4 series. If anyone wants to give me a shout on that, please email me.

P.S. I have B&W 802 Matrix powered by Levinson 20.5 monoblocks, Mac C220 Pre, Classe CD and SOTA turntable.
