Totem Forrest or Vandersteen 3A Sig?


I'm having a tough time chooing between these two speakers. I've owned the 2CE Signatures recently, but don't have a Totem dealer anywhere near me to audition the Forrest. I would like greater upper extension and detail than the 2CE's provide and don't know if electronics or cabling would compensate if I purchased the 3A's. My current amp is an Aragon 8002 and preamp is an Aragon 24K. I'm also in need of a better CD player than my Pioneer DV45A. I think it's too warm. My listening room runs into the entry way and dining room, so its a total of 26' in length, 15' in width, and has a 14' ceiling.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks for the repsonses! I am unable to audition either of two speakers in my area, so any purchase is a unheard one. I realize the 2 speakers are vastly different, but I'm thinking I may overall favor a more forward presentation.
