Hi Elb,
I heard them at CES in January. I was very impressed. Overall one of the most natural sounding speakers I heard at the show until you get to about 4 times the price. The VS people were very friendly and knowledgeable. VS speakers are some of the best there is and they work well with tubes and solid state gear. There are LOTS of good speakers in this price range though - especially if you are willing to buy used on audiogon. Just my two cents trying to share my experience.
