I'd have to echo Mazer's comments here. The Boston Acoustics VR line is very different than Klipsch's Reference line, both solid performing speakers in their own right, both unique sonic signatures than each other.
Being a fan of the BA VR series, I would (obviously subjectively) lean more towards the BAs, particularly if your listening was either predominantly music or 50/50. If HT/movie soundtracks are most of what you'll be listening two, both are very adept at presenting a large soundstage and accurate imaging.
Both of these lines are also very efficient in that they'll take very little power to drive. I can say from owning the VR12, VR3s and Bravos, they all perform just as well at higher volumes as they do at low to moderate levels, no loss in clarity and imaging, just clean, powerful sound.
Unless your overly sensitive to higher frequencies, either of these will perform well for you. I would, however, suggest listening to them if you have the opportunity with the type of material you plan to use with them, whether it's movies, music or both... -TD
