Low end on Preludes is slighty less, low 40's maybe in most rooms, but MUCH tighter, faster and more "tuneful" than the 2 you mentioned.
A hard-core headbanger would prefer the rough and ready 100"s, they are voiced for rock allright and thats what they are good for. Vandys like the Silverlines, sound good with any kind of music, but are more "veiled" than Silverlines. BTW the standmounted Silverlines like the Minuet sound very good as well.IMHO, the best real-world priced speakers available today are Silverline, Salk and Magnepan.
I would take a pair of Magico 7's as a gift though.
