Best Speaker Match for JC-1's : VMPS or Von S.?

Hello,
I have pretty well narrowed my choice of speakers for my Jc-1's to two models: The VMPS RM30 and the Von Schweikert VR-4 JR.
Between the VMPS RM 30 and the Von Schweikert VR-4 JR,Which would you recommend as matching best with my Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblock amps, and having a similar sonic signature to the amps?
Also has anyone out there heard both of these speakers?
If so, what were the sonic differences, sonic advantages, and sonic disadvantages of them compared to one another?
Thanks for your help and advice!

I can say that I know the VMPS speakers will enjoy the current. I run a Parasound HCA 3500 with mine. Tried a Marsh A400s at 200wpc and the bass would get loose if it was loud. I also know Brian's speakers will handle alot of power (on my second set). I haven't heard the Von Schweikerts or the RM 30's but I have heard the 40's and they are mind bogglingly good for the money. If I were you I'd go listen to both and see which speaker I liked best. The VS is also supposed to be a great bargain but it's really upto your personal taste. As a matter of fact I'd like to hear your impressions due to the fact I may buy a new set of speakers next year (probably RM 40's). Be sure to mention the acoustic environment they were played in too. Thanks
