My friend just took out his Auricaps and replaced them with the Jupiter HT's..he loves them, also the Crescendo caps are supposed to be great as well, althought they are large.
Auricaps just seem to do things right in my experience, they could be more extended on top and better bass but the mids are glorious. The Jupiters do what the auricaps do to a degree but with better extension at both ends, mids almost as good as the auricap.
Vcaps? I would stay away, could be an expensive mistake. Charlie, you might be getting excited by the beautiful mids of the auricaps, the vcaps won't have that midrange weighty delisiousness of the auricap, they will have many other great things, depends on what your system needs really.
