i havent heard the vandy so i couldnt comment on them but the studio 60 v3's are nothing but bright provided the amp you drive them esp with solid state has enough ooomph. 150 watts would be good. They can sound thin with lower power amps, receivers, integrateds, but with a good 150 watter, they can sound full and not bright.
Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ?
I've recently been "auditioning" a pair of Studio 60 v3's and found their sound to be much more suitable to my taste in music over my current pair of Triangle Antal XS. I've not heard the Vandersteen speakers but heard they sound pretty good. Some negative comments I heard about the speakers is that they lack transparency and extention in the treble. Switching from a pair of Antals to these speakers sounds like it would be a complete opposite, but how do they compare against the Paradigm Studios? Who owns a pair of these 2Ce Signatures and how is their value rating? I'm using a pair of NAD C 272 mono blocks with an NAD DVD player. I listen to a range of music including rock, classical, electronic, folk, and more.
