Vandersteen vs. JBL rock music etc.

I am considering a used pair of Vandersteen 2CE Signature and currently have JBL L166s and a pair of Infinity Crescendo 3008. Associated equip - Adcom GFA 555 II and Adcom GFP 555 II. The JBLs don't have the bottom of the Infinitys so the thought to "move up." How do the Vandys sound with rock music (classic) and blues? Are my electronics up to the Vandys? You can tame the mid and highs on the JBLs with the speaker controls which does eliminate the in your face sound and results in a nicer balance, but still bass shy. What type of SPLs are the Vandys capable of??

Any thoughts anyone??

The vandys can boogie, no worries there. Look at the long thread going which I added to yesterday after just hearing Vandersteen 2ce sigs for the first time in years. I still can't get over the sound quality for the money. There are many many speakers out there that are waaaaay over priced compared to these. And they should go great with your adcoms. I think they need some power and control.
Good luck!
