Vandersteen 3a vs Magnepan 3.7i

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has compared these speakers. I currently have the Maggie's but find vocal glaring or haze on many recordings even with the resistors. My listening room is 12x15. Most of my listening is rock with some jazz and classical thrown in.

Speakers on 12' wall had tweeters in but just changed to out last week, 13' from sidewall tweeter 40' from backwall inside edge 29' from backwall.
Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year filled with good listening to all.

Do you mean feet(') or inches(")?
If the former, you have one honking big room...

I owned Vandersteen 3A speakers years back and never found them bright or analytical.  As a matter of fact, it was quite the opposite although the newer 3A may have newer and or upgraded drivers .
