Agreed that the Guarneri are more closely matched to the VSM's both in price and quality. My biggest concern is that I can only place the speakers 12" from the back wall and my sweet spot is 11' away, The speaker seperation would be about 8'. This all being said, I think the VSM's would be too much speaker for the room . . . thus "bookshelf" speakers are in order. I did have the opportunity to hear the Guarneri hooked up to some top shelf AR gear that blew me away. Ableit, it was in a MUCH larger room. I guess my question would be as follows. Are the Guarneri to much speaker for my room? If so which would be better, the TSM's or the Cremona Auditor?
