Really enjoyed them. When I upgraded other components, the Vandys stayed in the system -- better amp and sources just made the speakers sing more sweetly. One note -- they need a decent sized room to sound their best. They need some space (in my experience, a few feet) between the speakers and the back and side walls. Now that I have a much smaller listening room, I don't have the Vandys, and while I enjoy the monitor speakers I now own, I sometimes miss the richness and impact of the big Vandys. They are big and heavy -- not easy to move, and a bit risky to ship. If you buy used, try to pick them up. Or pay a little extra for the seller to reinforce the boxes -- when a Vandy is damaged in shipping, it's not a pretty sight.
