Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II


This question is for those of you who have listened to the Vandersteen 5a AND the Eggleston Andra II or who purchased one after listening to BOTH.

I am looking at upgrading from the Energy Veritas 2.8 to one of these speakers.

I listen to everything except country. I love the built in 400 watt amps in the 5a, and I love the tweeter in the Andra II.

I have read all the reviews on both of these speakers and would like to hear from you as to why you like one over the other.

Thank you in advance.

That's not exactly correct, I don't believe it's drunks in a bar argument but a healthy discussion being worked out. If you read my posts it has been about my experience regarding Vandy and Eggleston set-up.

There are allot of individuals out there that seem to have a hidden agenda and high jack threads, nit picking over the use of words used etc. when it's the individuals own opinion.

There isn't much more one can do but actually offer to hear both system's is there? and at no time have I ever said that I don't like Vandy's.

I skimmed over your McCormack thread please, where would you like me to start? but I won't.

I don't believe you have actually even heard both set-up properly but instead only have a hidden agenda.

Stick to answering the original post instead of high jacking it with nonsense.
I don't care what you believe, Dev? Anyone who actually knows me and doesn't wildly guess and speculate knows that I don't say that I've heard something when I haven't. I've likely heard more pieces of audio equipment than you'll ever see. You saying you don't belive me is equivalent to calling me a liar, which I wholly resent. Funny how people will say something online they wouldn't have the guts to say in person. Further, I am lost as to how a review of a McCormack upgrade would reflect an agenda about Vandersteen speakers or against Egglestons, which I've said I've liked (outside of the McCormack and the K&K phono, it is the only pieces still left in my system).

Talk about nonsense - check your mirror. Oy.

Go ahead, you can have the last word - continued nonsense, most likely.
