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?

I only listen to classical music and a bit of jazz .
Once upon a time i worked for one of the biggest Klipsch dealers in the USA . The only place I would listen to them was from another room , they were that bright .
SOLE exception was the Forte , they had a balance and  "breathed" in such a manner Classical was  good on them even though they were still a bit bright .
I can well imagine the III's might do very well on most anything .
If the 12" of snow in St  Paul ever melts (9 degrees tonight) I plan on trotting
down to klipsch dealer to hear for myself .
