I have owned a couple pairs of Vandersteens in the past and I thought they were great but now own a pair of Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook monitors and they are the best speaker I have ever heard under $10,000 and I have listened to most big name models. Designs are more marketing ploys to get you believe their design is the best. There are many great speakers out there and it is the execution of the speaker builder with all the parts, cabnets ect., that make them either great or mediocre IMHO.
