have you heard the RM40's?

I like how you can caste them aside so easily. I have heard both VR's (unfortunately not the 5's). While VS does excel in transparency holographic presentation and detail, I am afraid they still are bested in this regard by the Neo ribbons. I have yet to hear better imaging by any full range speaker, ever and dynamics are world class.

However, I will conceed that the looks aren't for everyone (I have a optional veneer that makes mine look gorgeous, imo), they are huge and heavy and maybe not very high on WAF. They don't have a super wide sweet spot. They are a bit hungry with driving, although I have had luck running my RM40's on a Cary V12i. I don't really care for tube bass so I am looking elsewhere. In the end I think RM40's should be a very viable consideration but if they aren't for you, fine. It bothers me when people brush them aside as "dollar per pound value" speakers. Come'on! They are value no matter how you look at them.
