coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse

Dear Friends,

My final vote went to Total Eclipse 2.
Altough I was formerly in love with VR4 Gen3, after meeting te 2 and a 3 day a/b comparison of the two speakers, for me the te 2 was the clear winner in terms of every audiophile parameter (maybe except the overall musicality criteria which is really very subjective...)

After changing at least 10 speakers in the 5000-15000 $ region (wilson , proac model, von schweikert model , zu model, sonus faber, revel, jm lab utopia etc) I believe it is one of the best all around speakers and great value.

Thanks for all the comments.

Has anyone compared the total eclipse with the newer version of the Von Schweikert VR jr? or senior?

If one doesn't think the Gen III stacks up agains the Total Eclipse, the Jr. or Sr. probably won't either. I think the Gen III HSE is better than both of the newer VS offerings.

I have also had the vr4 sr for about 3 months at my home.
As ozzy62 states they are not better than vr4 gen 3.
