Vandersteen 2/3 vs. 3A MM de Capo vs. GMA Europa
Second the Vandy reco (as I am biased, and have and love my 3A Sigs), and like you find myself "around" the room while listening. Vandies get knocked for that "they only sound good in that 6 inch by 6 inch keep you head still sweet spot", but I do... 
Processor Help...Please
A 2 channel (tube) preamp with a HT bypass switch (although not necessary to have the switch/just use the volume control) is sage advice.I run an Outlaw 950 for HT and a Rouge 99 Mag with HT bypass for stereo and works like a charm........you marr... 
Vandersteen 2CE's
Double4w,I apologize for my post...was watching my college football team lose their 4th in a row and was a bit cranky. Stating you hate the 2ce was way off base, and all you were stating was what you heard.I should have been listening to my Vandy ... 
Vandersteen 2CE's
Double4w,Interesting how you feel it necessary to deviate from the op question. Did he ask for a speaker recommendation? No! Only a power question.Always amazing to watch the Vandy haters come out of the woodwork. 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
"just recently bought a pair of Vand 3's. With some music they sound great. However, for Rock 'N' Roll they appear to be missing something. I was told by the local dealer it was because the Rock 'N' Roll music was recorded"Isn't all music "recorded"? 
Best Towers Under $4,000 / pair
Vandersteen 3A Sigs (own them so obviously bisaed:)I listen to lots of my old rock and some County LP's, and am far from disappointed. In fact, some of these are my personal favorites for demoing to friends (as we are in our mid 40's and love the ... 
Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system
Usher makes a nice bookshelf in the $300 range as well. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Thanks to both. I will search for these.

Abramsmatch,Can you recommend a version of this piece? There are so many! 
Warmest speaker?
"Vandersteen--to a fault"I guess this is the Comedy forum!And you listened to which model, and for how long (likley not more than 10 minutes at some dealer!) 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
"Dseid,Just watch your back with your "buddy" dealer. He may sell you a line or maybe he already has. Maybe he wanted to dump the Vandersteens on you and was lying about it. It sounds like he does that with his other customers, so he's probably do... 
Sources of 45 RPM recordings
Oh, so I guess that means I can cancel my outstanding order. Or maybe I have no order to really cancel at all? This is too bad, Red Trumpet was a great source and they are very nice people.I wish them well. 
Sources of 45 RPM recordings
Does anyone know if Red Trumpet is/has gone out of business? I have an outstanding order of >35 days with them, and cannot reach them via phone or email. There phone is a constant busy signal? 3 emails have not been replied to?Thanks 
Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938
You should inclde a pair of Vandersteen 3A Sigs to your "short list". I compared the 3A Sigs and the VS Jr and liked the Vanbersteens by a wide margin. Paired with my Rouge tube amp and preamp, its very nice.Have not heard the Hyperion's.
