KEF 107 - opinions please

I managed to miss thes econd pair of KEF 107. These were rosewood, with manuals, KUBE etc. While I was contemplating they were sold.
Now I do have a few nice vintage speakers (ADS 1290 and 1530, Thiel CS 3.5, Alon Capri) but always wanted to get these 107s. Unfortunately never had the pleasure to listen to these. Red the rave reviews though.
Are these worth pursuing consiering the set of speakers I alreday have? Woul it be better to say get Vandy 2CE signature or even 3A signature instead?
I know that opinions will vary, but hopefully someone had a chance to comaper the 107 to one or more of the speakers I listed. Any insight/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I do know that they need power. I have an older CJ MF 2200 (200wpc) which could do the trick.

To me the problem is getting ( great speakers ) a speaker that is long in the tooth,,,More than likely it will need the Drivers re done...If you don't mind investing some $$$ and can find a nice pair ,,then go for it...For me I would suggest the Vandy Sig3...but thats me........I would also suggest a B&W 801 matrix series 3 before the Kef 107..

Thanks! I think I will definitely try to find a pair of 3A and 107 to listen to. Now of course system compatibility and space in my hose will be totally different.
