CVman,
I'm with you. Looking for an upgrade to my Vandersteen 3A Signatures. I'm considering the PBN EPS2, VSA VR4SR MKII, and the Vandersteen Quatro. I may also consider the new NSR Sonic research D3, but haven't heard any of these yet. I listen to rock, blues, jazz, and classical music, but like to crank them up on occasion. I appreciate a fast, tight, deep and powerful low end along with a non fatiguing top-end. I'm using a CJ CT-5 preamp with a Spectron Premiere 7 power (HT/2ch combined)amp all tied together with Transparent Ultra MM2 cables. This sytem sounds better than it ever has, but I would like a bigger, more powerful sound when played loud.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
