Vandy 2ci's in mint condition or Totem Hawks


Help folks. I can pick up a pair of Vandersteen 2ci's in mint condition. I currently have Totem Hawks. I'm running Pass Aleph 2's with a Cary SLP-50B preamp. Mostly jazz, rock. Not a sound blaster at all. I enjoy the Hawks, but I remember hearing some 3a's (I think) a awhile ago and really enjoyed them, so I was wondering if the move to the 2ci's would be worth it. I enjoy the Hawks, mid's are silky smooth. But I'm starting to yearn for a fuller ranged speaker.
Thoughts? Thanks!!

The only speaker (and I confess to not having experience with a ton of the current models and designs) that did more for me than 2Cis were Carver Amazings, which are the second-best speaker I have ever heard, the best being Sound-Lab A1s (driven by Atma-Spheres).

It's really hard to go wrong with 2Cis. Had I not heard the Carvers, I'd probably still have mine. They just play music.
