The Vandersteen 5 is now a 'class 2' recommendation from TAS--meaning, very very good in their opinion. See the Oct issue.
Who has Vanderstein 5 speakers?
What electronics are you using with them? How do they sound? How much did you pay for them? How long have you had them? I heard them a few months ago and I was very impressed. They may be my next speaker.
