750 or so -- B&W 602, Vandersteen 1C, or...?

Which speakers would you pick for $750 or so to go with a modest system including an NAD C340 integrated amplifier, a Cambridge Audio D500 CD player, an old Yamaha turntable, an old Dynaco tuner and a JVC cassette deck? I've been thinking about B&W 602 or Vandersteen 1C speakers. (Sure, Vandersteen 2Ce would be nice, but they cost twice as much.) How would you describe the differences in sonic quality between these, the types of music they would best be suited for listening to, and their compatability with the rest of the equipment in my system? Have any other suggestions (polite ones I trust) for roughly the same price? I listen to a broad range of music -- jazz, classical, and occasional blues, rock or folk. I tend to listen more to solo performers, duets, trios or quartets, playing at moderate volumes, than to large bands, full orchestras or loud rock, although I occsionally crank it up.
