A friend of mine lives in Boston and last December when I was visiting him we went to Goodwin's and spent some time listening to the V2's. They sounded good, but a month or so later he had the opportunity to do an in house demo with another dealer for about 6 weeks. They sounded like a different speaker in his house and to this day it is the best sound he has experienced in his own environment.
I too felt that the V3 would be the obvious choice between the two, but a friend of his was prepared to purchase the V3's and ultimately liked the sound of the V2 better and now owns them.
As cmalak stated there is technology in the V2's that is not present in the V3's and I was very surprised with the difference of the two as one would initially assume that the more expensive 3-way would be better in all areas.
