hello topspeed. i read a thread by you that told of the vr1. i just heard them. they are truely awesome monitors. But, i have the 52se on order. bad thing is that different dealers carry dynaudio and von schweikert (maybe because they dont want these two compared for we would then really know). so, seeing that i cant compare the two side by side i was wondering if youve had the pleasure. i appreciate your comments. thank you.
