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?

Hey tomic601,
How's the Treo CT set-up doing? Did you add sub(s) to them? Really envy you. I have a daughter in San Diego. Would love to hear your system(s). HInt, hint :-)

Thanks tomic601,
I will try to contact you, maybe a few months? Would look forward to hearing one of your systems. Love Vandersteen. My 2Wq sub just took my Treo Ct's to a whole new level. Hope I didn't sound too forward about coming to your place in SD. I should realize not everyone welcomes strangers into their homes. Looking forward to meeting you sometime.
Cheers!
Tim

The new woven come midrange is a large improvement. It is the same mid used in the Quattro Ct and Treo Ct.

Great analogy, Jim.  Back in the early 70's we used a similar comparison of the "not so accurate" speakers of the time.
