Vandersteen 5a's - an upgrade from Vienna mahlers?
"I lived with time-aligned speakers for six years and do not care for their tiny sweet spot" - and I'm new to them and can't seem to locate this "tiny sweet spot". My 3A Sigs sound wonderful in or not in my sweet/spot - seat. "The Vandys' use of b... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
"They are not as dynamic as many other speakers and will not convey a live performance as well to me".Fair enough as you added "to me". While I disagree, especially when you add "The Vandersteen's will not play loud without compressing", we are al...

Buy Vandersteen if you want to sit back and listen to musicSo true!

"I stand by my recommendation that the VMPS soundly thrash Vandersteen's especially for what this person is wanting. It's no contest"Well then I must be an idiot then cause what I hear and FEEL from the 3A Sigs, especially listening to jazz and ac...

"I had Vandersteen's and they are easily beaten for the dollar these days imho" -- and your a VPMS dealer, nice!At $3500 the 3A Sigs compete and hold up very nicely to the competion. To each his own, I listened to the VMPS, the 4Jr, the Dali Helec... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
Audio girl - thanks. Your conclusion on the Vandersteen's seems to be the one I most often read. The 3ASig's won't knock you out right away, but over time (not so much break in), the "dynamic, tranparent, focused, and alive" qualities really are p... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
I DID listen to the VR4 Jr and Aggaffer's "dealer buddy" Vandersteens, and was able to easily draw my own conclusion on the two - I bought the Vandersteen's! The Vandersteen's are simply a more musical speaker, allowing me to focus on the music no...

"I haven't heard the Vandy 3A Sigs., but I had the 2Ce Sigs. and they are no match for the VRjr, which trounce all over the Vandys"But you "have not heard the 3A Sigs", so how will they "tounce over the Vandys"? Are you saying they will trounce th... 
Help-Line in my RPTV-need conditioner for HT
This sounds exactly like the "streaking" problem heavily discuused at Hometheaterspot, and I experienced as well. Pioneer has finally figured out a fix, which I had installed almost 2 months ago - no return of the green, somtimes big splashs of re...

"You either love 'em or hate 'em"So true. This seems to be prevelent in my life - I'm a Deadhead and a diehard Raiders fan -- both are either "love'em or hate em" things as well:) 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
Rysa4 - Sorry too if I came off as offended. I'm just one of those Vandersteen owners who, in my HT, do not hear these deficiencies/nor feel "uninvolved". I've owned my 3A Sigs since November 17th, 2004 - and have NEVER been more involved in my li... 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
"Vandersteen would NOT be my choice for HT. In DVD playback, they have an unusually recessed sound in direct comparison to the other choices mentioned. Also the soundstage changes as you move in a room in a way that other choices do not. "Sweet sp... 
Best used speakers under $3,500?
Vandersteen 3A Signatures - you could even buy them new at a little less than your budget + your really getting $7000 speakers for $3500:> so its = to getting used $7000 speakers. 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
"IMHO you should stick with Vandersteen, or find a speakerwith similar characteristics, e.g., dark, recessed, nonanalytical sound"Funny, as I recently purchased the 3A Sigs and find them far far from "dark, recessed and nonanalytical". Paring them...

"The already uninvolving Vandersteens will probably lull you to sleep"Your joking right? I just added the 3A Sigs to my system, and NEVER have been more "involved" in my listening. You own Vandersteens, correct? If yes, something seems amiss. If n...
