Add a pair of 2wq's to my Vandersteen 3A Sigs?

It seems my system has lost a little of that "slam" or "punch" in the last year or so. I'm having the capacitors replaced in my PSE Studio V mono amps soon, and I expect that to help; but, I'm also considering adding a pair of Richard's 2wq subs. How has your experience been? The only real spot I have for the subs is
behind and a little in from the 3As. Does the adjustability make placement a small issue? I'm interested in Quatros, but they're beyond my budget.
Thanks for your time,
Steve

When I owned 3Asigs, I had a pair of 2W subs placed behind and to one side of the mains. They blended so well and so were acoustically "invisible" that I periodically had to check to make sure that they were actually powered up.

Yes. The only thing I might suggest is that with the capabilities of the 3A sigs, a single sub might be all that is needed to get your setup sounding right. You could always add the second one if needed. I've gotten really good performance for years from my single Vandy sub. One of the better pieces of equipment I've ever owned. (Thanks, Richard).

There's a pair of Quatros for sale here for about $4300, and given your space limitations maybe if you sell your 3As that could be a possiblity especially considering the cost of the two subs? Ironically someone's also selling a pair of 2wqs for $800 that may be tough to pass up. Best of luck.
