Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain

I've got Vandersteen 3A Signature speakers with two Vandersteen 2Wq subs and am happy with the sound I'm getting. But the 3A's are quite physically dominant in the room so I'm considering something smaller for that reason, as well as I'm curious what other speakers would sound like. Started out researching stand mounted speakers but I'm now looking at floor standers and the two I'm interested in are Coincident Super Eclipse III and the Green Mountain Pico Mideo. I've corresponded with both manufacturers and they both think the models of their speakers I'm interested in will sound better than what I have (what a surprise). I was quite impressed with Roy Johnson from Green Mountain as well as Israel Blume when talking to them. My amp is an Ayre V-5xe, preamp is Aesthetix Janus. The room is about 14 x 19. Just looking for comments which I will take with a grain of salt since the only way to tell is audition but in this case it's not possible.

Green Mountain Audio speakers are the most enjoyable speakers I have owned in 30 years. The music flows and the soundstage is huge. Of course, the best way is an audition. With no dealer close to you, I would not be surprised if Roy could arrange an audition for you with a return policy. It never hurts to ask. Speakers are so critical and all the BS in the world has disappointed many an audiophile and cost us all alot of money. I have not heard the Quatros and would want to do the same with those.
Good luck to you!
