Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III

Hifiman55, thanks for input. 
I'm curious, you said you have Sig 3a II's. I haven't seen a II designation in that model. Although there might be one at some point. 
This is wierd, but in the past week I have reached out to to a couple of Vandy owners that are selling their speakers and have asked if I can view and have a quick audition. I can't get a reply even after repeated attempts. I dunno, maybe something to hide. I would like to buy used if they're in 8/10 shape. 

Sorry late night alphabetitus. Went from Vandy 2CE Signature II's to the Signature 3A's. The Signature and an A on the serial number marking the difference over older Model 3's. Here's a link for a really nice pair at a great price  of $2000. off original retail:

Serial #2266A, Vandersteen can supply approx. manufacture date.
Jump in and get your feet wet. You can't duplicate your sound space listening in someone else's.
The 3A has many components from the Series 5 and are outstanding.
You should enjoy them for many years. At the very worst you can resell for what you paid or more.
Jump in, the waters fine, good luck.

Hifiman55, too funny. I hear ya on the "jump in" part. When u said a Sig II 3a I thought I was already behind on new iterations. Speakers are sort of like cell phones, you can keep waiting for the next version forever and get nothing in the meantime !! Buying without hearing em is a big leap for me. There is a guy now that says I may be able to audition. 

Owning modified Klipsch Lascalas / powered subwoofers, I have to say that there is a night and day difference between a Vandersteen and Klipsch ( Heritage models specifically ). Different tastes, different listeners. Ozzy 62 said it best. For what I enjoy, I have chosen my path. And, for all who don’t know, or cannot imagine, " they " do all those things the Vandys are known to do.

Mrdecibel, I understand what you're saying.
I'm not trying to have the forum "tell" me what I like or don't like. It's an individual thing. But, it's all this collective conversation that sheds light on what I may or may not like and how to determine in what direction I want to go. Ultimately it's my listening experience and no one else's that matters. But, your opinions do matter.
I am guilty of "analysis paralysis" at times. But I think that's kind of understandable in this hobby. There are so many subjective and objective variables that have to be considered. In many ways that's the appeal and mystic to it all. In the end, no one is ever wrong if he/she likes what they like. It's great to have a spot like this where ideas and opinions can be shared.
