Von Schweikert vs Wilson

Ayone compare VSA VR-4SR mkIII or VR-5Anniversary with Wilson Watt/Puppy 8? I have a 20' x 14.5' x 8' room. My system consists of:
-CJ CT-5 preamp
-Spectron Premiere 7 Power Amp
-Whest PS.30r Phono/modified VPI HW-19 MkIV TT/Ortofon Jubilee
-McIntosh MVP-871 player-modified by The Upgade Company
-all tied together with Transparent Ultra and Crystal Cable Standard.
I like all music except country and rap/hiphop. Strong tight and deep base with excellent dimension.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I went from 3A Sigs to the PBN EPS2s and, to me, the PBN are far superior, as in less veil, faster, greater resolution and transparency with a larger soundstage. I listened to the Quatro and I actually liked my 3A Sigs better.

Now, I have not heard the 5A only because I think they have the same midrange and tweeter as my 3A Sigs had. Again veiled compared to my current EPS2s.

I don't know if the Von Schweikerts will be better than my PBNs as they are difficult to audition. I have not heard the WP8, but have heard the Sashas which impressed me sonically, as well as visually. Its the WP7 or 8 or VSA VR4SE or VR5 SE I'm considering.

Thanks for your responses.

I think Stan mean to say the Vandersteen 5As
which are world class in a different league than the 3A sigs and Quatros.
Try and catch the right demo with them and at some point in time you should get it.
