I've owned both and can say they are indeed different animals. The Vandy's are more open and laid back IMHO. The KG4's are more dynamic, some people say "in your face" because of the horn. For my musical taste(blues, classic rock mostly) I favored the KG4's which I feel are overlooked and under-appreciated. Both are excellent choices depending on your ears.
Klipsch KG4 v. Vandersteen 2ce NOT Sig
Category: Speakers
Currently own the Klipsch - have an opportunity to purchase a pair of Vandy's - rest of the system is McCormack DNA-125, Manley Shrimp, Cary 308t, AZ wiring, Shuyata power - smaller townhouse, listening to lots of jazz and opera but tastes all over the board -
Am I moving up with chain with the Vandys or should I stay where I am at?
