I concur with sdcampbell about the Vandersteen 3a Signature's. For the money you can't beat them. This can be said for most of the Vandersteen line up. I have owned Thiel, Martin Logan, and Aerial. Every time I think I've found better than my Vandy's I have been mistaken upon further indepth listening. I started out with Vandersteen 2ce's and I have run the gambit of high performance speakers and I have returned to the Vandy 3a signatures. And I am happy I did. Regards, thestryder
Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000
I am intersted in auditioning loudspeakers witha cost at or below $4,000 (new, not used). Associated equipment: Wadia 850 CD player, Linn Klout power amp. Room size 18 x 26 x 10. Music: mostly accoustic jazz. Current speakers: Magneplanar 3.6 R's: Wife can't live with them; I want to continue living with wife. Ideally, I would like to match the 3.6 R's sound, with "better" low bass. Any suggestions? Thanks for your thoughts.
