I have a pair of 2Ce Sigs, driven by a McCormack DNA-1 (great match by the way). I would not say that the Vandys are laid back, but I would say that they are musical and certainly not harsh or brittle. I am very sensitive to harsh top ends.
I have learned that there is such a thing as system synergy, and speakers will sound somewhat different depending on associated equipment.
The 2Ce's are great fit for me based on my budget and preferences. They are a great buy for the money. I would definitely evaluate them.
I am sure there are viable options in your price range, but you could definitely do worse....good luck. Enjoy the hunt!
