Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain

I've got Vandersteen 3A Signature speakers with two Vandersteen 2Wq subs and am happy with the sound I'm getting. But the 3A's are quite physically dominant in the room so I'm considering something smaller for that reason, as well as I'm curious what other speakers would sound like. Started out researching stand mounted speakers but I'm now looking at floor standers and the two I'm interested in are Coincident Super Eclipse III and the Green Mountain Pico Mideo. I've corresponded with both manufacturers and they both think the models of their speakers I'm interested in will sound better than what I have (what a surprise). I was quite impressed with Roy Johnson from Green Mountain as well as Israel Blume when talking to them. My amp is an Ayre V-5xe, preamp is Aesthetix Janus. The room is about 14 x 19. Just looking for comments which I will take with a grain of salt since the only way to tell is audition but in this case it's not possible.

Check out the Vandersteen Quattro's as they are visually much smaller and I perfer them over the more expensive 5A's. No matter how good those other smaller speakers are you will miss the huge soundstage the Vandy's throw. The other speakers will be more pinpoint in the imaging and miss out on the ambience you currently have.

So you will be changing sound flavors in a big way....Just as Jaybo says... "a sideways move at best"
