Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1

Which should I get to replace my B&W N802. VSA VR-4SR v1, v2 or Revel Ultima Studio v1?
Thank you

Once you take the time to tweek speaker placement perfectly, it's pure magic. You'll know it when you find the perfect toe and placement.

Unfortunately "musical" is about the most vague, subjective word that exists in audio. Can you define what "musical" means to you? Only then will people be able to make recommendations as to what they think you will like. The VR4 jr is a warmer, softer, rounder sounding speaker than N802. N802 is perhaps a bit more vibrant, neutral, and definitely more dynamic. Are you running the N80s with a sufficient amp (~600+ WPC into 4 ohms) and a big enough room (at least 350 sq feet or so)?
