Vandy 2 (current edition) has been the default choice in this price range forever - and with good reason. However, if you can find a pair to audition, the Emininent Technology hybrid planars are a good alternative - Maggies and other planars at this price might prove bass shy after your V2. You may or may not prefer them, but this is a different set of strengths at the price point and one of the few alternatives that offer high quality sound over nearly full bandwidth at less than $2K.
Speaker upgrade?????
I currently have a pair of Vandersteen 2c. I have upgraded my system to a BAT VK60 Amplifier (60 watt) triode. My preamp. is a Sonic Frontier Line 2 . I have a rega p3 with a clearaudio cart. and a Audio research PH3 phono preamp. I bought a OPERA Conosance 2.2 cd player. I have all MIT S3 rca's and speaker wires.
The system sounds great. I wonder what I should do speaker wise . Considering I have a 2,000.00 Budget for speakers. I like the Vandersteen 3a signatures but wondered what would be some other good choices.
Any imput would be helpful.
