Speaker preference Dali, Audio Physic, Von Swiekrt


I am looking for opinions on the Dali MS4, Audio Physic Avanti III and the Von Sweikert VR4SE. I am thinking about moving from Audio Physic Virgo II's to one of the above speakers. Unfortunately no opportunity to audition any of them. My system consists of Theta Basic II transport, Camelot Uther IV DAC, Rogue M150 Amps, Tara Labs Air1 wiring. Dedicated room 20'X14'X9'. Listening preference is soft rock, classic rock, jazz, female vocals. Thanks for your opnions.

What speakers did you have before the Avanti's and how do they compare.
Thanks

You may want to contact the following member, who also owns a pair of the Avanti 3's and has said very favorable things about them: Jtcedinburgh
I have a pair of Dali Helicon 800's which are the lower sibling to the MS4's and they are exquisite with classical, jazz, and voacls. Female vocals in particular are not chesty and have incredible air and detail with their dome/ribbon tweeter arrangement. I will agree on some rock and pop they sound a bit warm, but I would prefer that on this type of music to sterile any day. As always your results may vary, and I am also not a big Audio Physic fan so we may have different tastes, but I wouldn't write off the Dali's
I would seriously check into the VS DB99's as well. It's an pair of speakers and can be driven by low powered tubes.

VS is my favorite designer. He seems to get everything right and doesn't over charge like Wilso... oh I don't want to put anyone down.

Listen and decide for yourself.
Nrchy,
Just out of curiousity, and I am sure others are wondering the same:
Why do you DISLIKE Von Schweikert speakers so much?
In another thread you also referred to them as "rubbish".
You never, ever say anything good about them at all?
Please fill us in...pretty please???
Thanks,
Angela
