If you like the Vandersteen sound then stick with the 3As. It's tough to beat
Vandersteen at any price point. |

I'm looking to replace my Vandersteen 1B speakers. Time to take a step up. I like the Vandersteen sound, so I've been thinking about the 3A Signatures. I want to demo others, though, and am considering Martin Logan, Pro-Ac, Paradigm, and Monitor Audio. I have a Plinius Mk I integrated amp, listen mostly to classical music, and will be placing the speakers on the shorter wall of a 15' x 26' room. Any thoughts or comments about these speakers, or are there any others I should also consider in this price range? Appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. I bet a pair of Harbeth Compact 7-es speakers would blow your mind. Boon |

At the risk of having Richard Malesweski stomping up and down and pointing his finger (as if anyone pays attention to him anymore), the dealer I go to, Gene Rubin, carries them. Check out www.generubinaudio.com. The Compact 7s are $2200 per pair, which is why I recommended them to the original poster. The Compact 7s do really well in small rooms. The Monitor 30s, which we discussed before, are about a grand more, and need a little more room, even though they are smaller than the Compact 7s. (They have a much more forward presentation than the Compact 7s.) Both are beat by Quads, but consider that a pair of 988s are now $6500 per pair. Boon |

I listened to the 988s long and hard before I bought the 63's. I just didn't hear much difference. Both setups had a sub added, might be why. http://www.stereodesign.com/used/usedlist.htm The Devil, who owns both, pretty much says the same thing, that there isn't a huge difference between the 988 and the 63.

You s******ing pansy ****). **** you. Enjoy your inferior, distortion-ridden boombox speakers sockpuppet cake, there! No, the cake is there! Now it's over here! Oops, now it's back there again. Thanks Devil for admitting that I can handle a dozen of you at once in the back of a pickup truck because I'm not part of your tubes and vinyl conspiracy to make me commit suicide backed by John Atkinson.
