Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726


I have Vandersteens model 1s.  They are in great condition inside and out and I'm fairly happy with them.  Due to my new stereo fever I am considering purchasing Focal Chorus 726 speakers but I'm not anxious to spend $2000 if there is not much difference in sound quality.  If that is the case, I'd stay with the Vandys.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Doug

If you like the tonal balance of the Vandy's ..... I would spend that $2k upgrading to the 2ce signatures.
If you are searching out something 'brighter' with thinner midrange... then Focals will do.

This is an opinion based on my preferences.
While I get the sub thing.... I run a pair. The midrange/ tweeter/ x-over in the 2ce Sig II will be 10x better than the Model 1... and, they will fill a moderate size room with plenty of bass.
