Vandersteen 5A vs Martin Logan Prodigy

I know it is a long shot but has anyone ever done a comparison between these two speakers? Or, have owned them both and/or around them enough to give an opinion of them and how they differ.

I currently have Prodigies but am thinking of going to Vandersteen 5As to improve upon my system.

Recently, I upgraded my amps to Cary Audio 805 AEs and now the Prodigies sound much much better. My thinking was that if these sound this much better, a better speaker would just sound amazing with these amps!!

I mainly play vinyl but do have a DAC for digital play. I am looking for an articulate but romantic sound that will keep me up all night listening to one LP after another.

You are comparing apples with oranges - both are excellent speakers, happy owners of Prodigy's will also say "they are the most natural, nonfatiguing, cohesive, MUSICAL-sounding speakers I've ever heard. Keep them!

I have owned Prodigy's in the past and moved to Soundlab's A1 PX. May be the Vandersteen will have better bass frequencies, and can handle heavy rock better than the ML's, but my preference would still go for the Prodigy. The choice will depend on owner preferences and room acoustics.

BTW, did you ever heard the Prodigy's with the Descent subwoofer? It takes them to a new world.
