I had the early Von Schweikert Vortex Screens that were a clone of the Vandersteen 2C in looks, BUT...had better dynamics. Had them for 18 years and loved the sound. Your speakers sound very nice but more live dynamics are not the strong point of the Vandersteen line. The larger Tektons WILL give you the slam you're after. The Moab at $4500 is a killer deal and you'll most likely have an eargasm from the jump factor. I have had VMPS RM40 BCSE for about 8 years and other VMPS speakers prior to that and I obviously love the sound after hearing several other well reviewed speakers in my system. If mine ever crap out, I will be going to the Moab's for their more live sound. They put the fun back into music!
