Billw, I own both the VR2s and the Vandersteen 2ce Sig. and love bot of them. All and I mean all the Vandy threads at this forum have stated that the jump from the 2s to the 3As is jaw dropping, but i haven't heard them. i listen to mostly classical piano, either solo or in concerto and with tubes for the VR2 and SS for the 2ceSig. At the moment......(subject to change!!) the VR2s are ahead. But I have a feeling when I can afford tubes for vandy it may be a new ballgame. John
Narrowing down floorstander selection.
I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:
Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig
If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.
I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.
My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.
I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.
Thanks for your help.
