Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H

I'm very curious as to how these 2 compare. I had the opportunity to audition a pair of SF GP Home and was blown away by everything I heard. Not that it is too difficult for me to hear improvements from my little Axiom M3tis...I'm in the market for floorstanders and these 2 seem to be good choices. I have a Blue Circle CS and a Roksan Kandy CD player.
Anyone had the chance to audition these?
Thanks,

At that price point you'd be better comparing to the VS V4JR, which IMO are a lot better then the SF GPH, which I auditioned in my speaker quest. The 4JRs image better and have much better bass.

VR2s will be more dynamic, open and neutral with deeper and more well defined bass. The Grand Pianos are not as transparent and have a more laid back sound resulting in less apparent detail but still very musical. They need some power to really open up where the VR2s are rated at 91dB sensitivity. May come down to preference. If only the VR2s looked like the SF!

At that price I second the VR4jrs. Have not heard them yet...but...if they are better than the VR2s it becomes less of a contest.

It's a matter of taste and preference.I own the VR-2's and have heard the Grand Pianos.The Bass performance of the Vr-2 speakers are very special for the price.I believe the Grand Piano H do a better "disappearing" act.If possible I would buy the VR-4 jr's.They are my next move.
