Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III

What an interesting shootout!  Two really worthy speakers but so very different. I hope and expect that Mr Rutan will weigh in. 
The Anders teens are great speakers for sure,  less assertive,  but with really full bass which could be a bit much depending on your room.  Very coherent,  and satisfying with all types of music... The girl you marry. 
I personally also love the Forte.  Typical horn virtues of speed and detail with a great sense of energy,  and just plain fun.  It's difficult for me to imagine someone hating them. 
I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.  I think that if you flipped a coin,  you couldn't lose. 

Sorry for the cell phone typo in Vandersteen!

Thanks for the above input. I currently have 1981 ADS L1230's. I imagine that they will compare more with the Vandy 3A Sigs than the Forte III's. And, if I go with the 3A's am I getting enough of an improvement over the ADS?  I should mention that I heard Forte II's and they were kind of sharp or biting. They had not been upgraded and had tubes behind them. Are the III's that much different than upgraded II's?

The Vandies will smoke the ADS, in my opinion. The Klipsh, again in my opinion, work best in large rooms.
That being said, getting a recent iteration of the 3a sigs would be the way to go. Unfortunately, Vandersteen doesn't keep records of when a speaker is created, so you have to go by serial number. (This is if you are buying used). 
Another strategy is to buy a pair of 1Ci's and a pair of 2wq subs used. 
The cost will be almost the same and will get you a bit more than a pair of 3a sigs in terms of sound.-And, they take up less room. The Sound Anchors on the 3's are impossible to work with in limited space.

Well
no hater for sure with 3 pair of Vandersteen and a pair of rebuilt and upgraded Cornwall in the garage...( but they at one time occupied space in the “ Vintage” room...
Apples and Octopus... not oranges....
and yes I had a pair of 3a-sig with Mac power....
i would say Vandersteen faults are subtractive and Klipsch faults are additive with glare, fatigue and lack of image depth critical listening deal killers for me. Wow do they rock tho! I have run them with a MAC 240 and tubes certainly help tame some of the issues.
you have enough amp for the 3a and a nice sized room. They reward meticulous setup and careful placement using the massive sound anchor stands.
the acoustic coupler provides very significant low bass and superb definition with an amp that can control the low end drivers,
have fun in your search, and Apple or ???? It’s all good food
