Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
Sorry for the cell phone typo in Vandersteen! 
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 dep... 
Missing the Old Days
tutitibiimperes beat me to it. JTR 215 RT is exactly what I was going to recommend.  
SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!!
