Klipsch KG4 v. Vandersteen 2ce NOT Sig

You say "smaller townhome" so I expect you've noted the size of the Vandersteens. I had a pair and loved the sound but man they take up some real estate.

Nie rig.I expend the speaker hunt more broadly.Go listen arround.Your speakers are the fianl arbiter of sound and it's be a shame to limit the potential of that rig.
Chazz

If you value the natural dynamics of music and play your sounds at a brisk level in a large room with moderate amplifier power, the Vandys are woefully inadequite. They have the K's beat on imaging, toneality and bass extension, but will sound compressed. A bad compromise IMHO.

To all, thanks for for the input - I will do some more listening and report back with my findings -

I've owned both and can say they are indeed different animals. The Vandy's are more open and laid back IMHO. The KG4's are more dynamic, some people say "in your face" because of the horn. For my musical taste(blues, classic rock mostly) I favored the KG4's which I feel are overlooked and under-appreciated. Both are excellent choices depending on your ears.
