Vandersteen vlr or excite x14i have bith

I have both tube and solid state integrated amplifiers. My listening room is approximately 14 by 22. My dac is a rega DAC and I use a Sony sacd as a disc reader.I am considering the purchase of either a used vandersteen vlr or dynaudio x-14 which would be new. My room is lively and speakers I have enjoyed in the past are proac and Nola. Any thoughts. Thank you.

I own the VLR's as well as Treo's, so I am biased towards Vandy's.
But, seeing how you liked ProAc's, I would say you will probably like Vandersteen.
Remember the VLR's were designed to be bookshelf speakers. So, having near the wall/corners will be the best position to allow the bass to shine.
I have a pair of HSU subs to fill out the low end, but I was very impressed by how much bass those VLR's put out by themselves.
I have no experience with DynAudio so I can't give you any info there.
