coincident total eclipse/v.schweikert gen3 hse


I am about to choose one of those speakers

coincident total eclipse 2
von schweikert vr4 gen 3 hse

which is better regardless of the other components. I will shape my system around the speaker after I make a choice.

Any experience or comment is highly appreciated.

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.

Another interesting comparison was done at a dealer with one of my friends(who is a well known piano artist and an audiophile).

We made an a/b comparison with super eclipse, vr4 sr, zu definition and wilson sophia.

The amplifiers were airtight 211, source was an accuphase.

We listened to a number of cds including my friends albums as well. He knows how they sound for sure.

The choice was clearly Coincident to our ears. Sophia was the second winner if we had to choose a second.
