Vandersteen 3A sig VS B W Nautilus 804

I have had both in my system, and the Vandersteen 3A Sig remains. I found the B&W N804 to be bright, and they prevented me from listening for extended periods of time. Some might describe the N804 as detailed and reveling, personally they just do not make music like the Vandersteens do.

Reasons to buy the Vandersteens: First order crossovers, which provide phase correct sound (when combined with time aligned drive units as Vandersteen does), Full range, Freq. response is 30 – beyond what I can hear, the money goes for what is on the inside of the speaker, not into fancy wood veneers, they make music, and are at the same time revealing.

But you need to decide based on what you like!

I agree with the above statements. The Vandersteen 3A Signatures are a no brainer and have no competition anywhere near their respective price range. If the music really matters to you, the decision is simple; Vandersteen Audio.

I AGREE THAT THE VANDYS ARE INCREDIBLE FOR THE PRICE AND ARE BETTER THEN MANY SPEAKERS COSTING MUCH MORE.HOWEVER AFTER HAVING THEM IN MY SYSTEM,I NOW HAVE THE ALON II MKIII IN MY SYSTEM AND PREFER THEM.AS ALWAYS IT DEPENDS ON PERSONAL TASTE,ROOM ACOUSTICS,ELECTRONICS,CABLES AND OVERALL SYNERGY!THE VANDYS ARE HARD TO BEAT ,BUT THE ALONS REALLY PUT ME IN LALA LAND!!
