Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III

I'd like to get input on a comparison of both of these speakers. I have not heard them. No dealers in my area. I realize it may be an apples to oranges match up to many but want to hear the pros and cons of both. Haters welcome!!  I'll be driving them with a Mac 6200 integrated. 75w into 8 ohms and 100w into 4 ohms. Room is 27x18x10h. I listen to all music. Some vinyl. Appreciate moderate base, clarity in vocals, imaging, and like the speakers to "disappear".  Thoughts?

you do get the bounce off the panel and the back wall is 100% distortion...."

No it is not 100% distortion because recordings are made, mixed and mastered to be played over a loudspeaker in some kind of room except lousy recordings that are made to be played in a car although I am not sure that is common practice in the industry today.
