Vandersteen 2 ce vs. B&W N 804, Any opinions?

I am considering these two speakers. I know the 2ce's are 1/2 the price.

I am using an Air tight-2 80 WPC stereo amp. The speakers can not be more than 1 foot from the rear wall. In addition, one speaker will be 4 feet from a side wall and the other about 10 ft.

There are high ceilings and a medium sized room, 500 sq feet or so.

Opinions?

Even being quite the fan of Vandersteen speakers, I'd have a hard time recommending them in your situation. As Sdcampbell noted, the rear driver will be very close to the wall, and it just seems to me that the bass would overpower the midrange in that situation.

Then again, I can't stand the sound of B&W speakers, personally, so I have a hard time recommending those as well.

Tough choice. Good luck figuring it out.
