I've auditioned the Vandersteens and liked them, too. I did something similar to you about 6 months ago - but instead of replacing Dynas, I was replacing my old Ohm C-2's, which sound very similar to your Dyans (in their respective days, of course). I did ultimately buy a pair of PSB Stratus Goldi's for $1300, barely used ($2800 retail, new). They should mate well with the Creek and, as mentioned, will give you plenty of room for cables and CD's - unless you are determined to spend the whole 3 grand on speakers, in which case others will have better knowledge and advise! :-) Good Luck.
