A further comment, I owned Vandersteen 2ci speakers for 20+ years and they sounded excellent on Classical, Jazz, and Rock. I was powering it at the time with a Classe 10 amp and Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp. As I have heard every Vandersteen John Rutan at Audio Connections had last year, I would lean towards Vandersteen. That Kind of up front Wilson sound is great at first, but over time would irritate the Hell out of me.
