b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match

My VR4JRs are connected to Mac separates - C2200 & MC275 - and they sound wonderful. I heard the Macs demoed at a local dealer with the B&Ws and they sounded very good. But I like the VR4JRs much better - transparent and detailed, yet richer, more musical and more involving for me. Its a very sensually moving combination; but then, this is tube gear vs the SS MA6900. The MA6900 should be a very good match but only Your ears and personal preferences can help you decide.

2 qualities the VR4jr's excel at.

They work good with tubes or solid state. Audition if you can - don't trust us, we have our own preferences and biases.

How can you even compare these two speakers?

What do you like better... kevelar ringing in your ear and a hot metal tweeter shouting at you, or....

The B&W's are of course a great choice, you can't go wrong. However each time I listened to them they did not give me enough of everything I wanted too make the purchase. When it came to the Vons, I ended up paying much more than the speakers that were at the time tops on my list. There is music in the VSA4jr's. They,I feel would be a great match for any quality amp, tube or SS. With a your Mac, a slice of heaven.

thanks everyone. sorry bout the delayed responce. you gave me some great ideas on what to listen to and for. there is one area around here i found where i can listen to vs and b&w only a few miles apart. think i'll start there. thanks again.
