Avalon Ascendant or Vandersteen Quatros?

I have made my entry into the Avalon (Ascendant) lineup. It took about 10 years but it's now a reality! Bravo.. :o)

I'm going to go with the speaker I have always wanted, Avalon Ascendants

Thanks for the repsonse, I'll definitely have a hear both to make a decision.

How would you describe the sound of the two and which one would you say provide the best imaging and soundstage?

Guys,

Are the Quatros MK2 wood version with upgraded drivers from the 5A any better in terms of musicality, soundstage and imaging to the Ascendants? These two speakers are high on my list for my next purchase. Based on my music selection of non-audiophile recordings of Classical and Gospel. My system consist of:

Belles 350A Ref
Belles 21A modded w/Auricaps diodes/pwr supplies
Rega Apollo
Bryston BDA-1
Dynamic Design MK2 IC X 2
Dynamic Design Bi-wire
Power e Chord
MIT AC1
MIT Z2

Flg2001,

I have just relocated from overseas to the USA and will be taking delivery of them within a few weeks. I can't wait to get them into my system. Anyone looking for a 18 months old Vandies 2 Ce Sig II?

My Avalons are scheduled to arrive Monday...
