Yeah, back in the late 1980's, I migrated from a pair of Acoustat Model 2's to my first pair of Vandersteens -- the Model 2Ci. The switch had some pluses and minuses, but I simply couldn't live with the incredibly small "sweet spot" of the Acoustats, nor their rather limited dynamic range (mostly a matter of being grossly inefficient). From time to time, I listen to a pair of electrostatics at a dealer (such as the M-L Prodigy's) and wish I had room in my home for them, but then I go home and and listen to my Vandersteen 3A Signatures, with a pair of 2Wq subwoofers, and am very pleased with what I have.
