I also heard and really like the Vandersteen Treos but I’m not sure they’ll have sufficient bass for my room (medium size 14.25x17.5 w/cathedral ceiling.
@rosami ,If it is possible, try to go a city like Chicago, New York, San Francisco etc and spend an entire day to audition your selected loudspeaker.The reason is, sometimes we have a preconceived notion based on user feedback, but when you YOURSELF listen to the speakers, it turns out to be something different.One of the posters here knows this very well because I told him how much I loved my ProAc D48R. But he was not thrilled by them. Instead h liked the Harbeth line of speakers.It is absolutely worthwhile that you listen to the loudspeakers in person.
Milpai I completely agree that listening to any speaker is a must. I’ve read many opinions in these forums on various speakers and disagree with some and agree with others. There’s no substitute for listening to any speakers of interest. The problem is the differences in the various dealers rooms and electronics, and short “memory” when listening on different days. The search continues ...
@rosami What are you driving the Thiels with? I endorse Milpai's advice. BTW, I went from B&W to Thiels to ProAc, then to PMC.
Spendors are the other obvious one for you to listen to, but again there's limited availability. Try if you can to hear the Classic series, ideally the Classic 100. It's slightly more lively than the Harbeth, but cut from similar cloth.
