Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33


Both speakers are almost the same price. Has anyone ever made a comparison? Both company's brag about all the new technology built in to their speakers but what about the sound? Which one is better and why?
I have Rogue 180 Mono-blocks, which speaker will react better with tubes?

I haven't heard the Pioneer, but the Rogue Cronus Magnum was a very good match for the VR33s.

I drive mine with either a 32 watt Class A Melody MK88 or a 155 watt (actually 200+) Solid State Redgum RGi120ENR.
Thank you Gopher for the reply. You should post some pictures of your VR 33 setup. You have a very esoteric collection of gear.
I have not heard either speaker. I own a modified pair on Von Scweikert vr 35 and they are simply stunning. Albert Von Schweikert builds incredible speakers! Call and talk to him, he is very personable.
Thankful, I have no doubt that Mr.Albert Von Schweikert will only have good things to say about his speakers, however I'm looking for comparisons from owners and not the opinion of the manufacturer.
I've been meaning to, but my listening area is also my living room where my young son plays. One of these days I'll collect up his toys and snap a couple pics.

I do need a nice rack to show case some of the attractive gear like my Melody and Kuzma turntable, but for now I'm using a $150 a/v hutch we bought at target. Not particularly sturdy, but its easy to keep the little man away from the contents.
