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?

Man, a room that size!, if you have two corners free, may throw in a banana?, Klipschorns! very cheap used. I bought a pair without an audition. The (cheap) punt for me was worth it.Totally.
I am a horn guy, so maybe just a tad biased, although there are quite a few conventional loudspeakers that I could live with.

Have you thought about auditioning Focal speakers? I have heard MacIntosh gear and Focal speakers together that are a great pairing on more than a few occasion.
