Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT

Hi,

I am trying to decide whether to keep my Harbeth 40.2 or acquire the Vandersteen Quatro CT.  

I listen to all kinds of music and the room is moderate size.  I would be using pass labs 260.8 monoblocks on either speaker.

I really like the Harbeth but I always wanted to try a Vandersteen  too.   Alas neither room nor budget allows me to keep both...

Anyone hear both on similar equipment?

@karmapolice   The 40.2's were my get-off-the-merry-go-round speakers.  You may regret this.

Given that you have the 40.2's, the only rational way to approach this is to wait until you give the Vandies an audition, ideally in your own house, or at least a couple of lengthy auditions well set up in a store.  They're both excellent speakers; the differences will boil down to personal, individual preferences and taste.  And none of us can tell you what those are.
