In my experience with Vandys being an instrumental music freak I felt that these speakers do not provide the studio dynamics and somehow still sound when the have to stop and contrary start to sound a-bit later than they should no-matter what power you try to through to them. In my understanding every speaker benefits from power and McCormack can give it just enough for any home speaker if neccessary. Depending on the music you're listening to you should explore the speaker you will like the most.
I'd look for rock and jazz for Medowlark Kestrel or Totem Hawk in your price range.
