Avalon Ascendant or Vandersteen Quatros?

Guys,

I'm returning back to the states in a few months and will be looking to upgrade my 2 Ce Sig II. I really enjoyed a pair of Eclipse's I heard 10+ years ago, unbelievable soundstage and imaging. I hear the Quatros are fantastic as well. I only listen to classical and Gospel and would love to hear your recommendations. I have owned Thiel 2.3, Martin Logan Aerius, Vandersteen 1C and B&W 604 S3.

Thanks :0)

Guys,

Are the Quatros MK2 wood version with upgraded drivers from the 5A any better in terms of musicality, soundstage and imaging to the Ascendants? These two speakers are high on my list for my next purchase. Based on my music selection of non-audiophile recordings of Classical and Gospel. My system consist of:

Belles 350A Ref
Belles 21A modded w/Auricaps diodes/pwr supplies
Rega Apollo
Bryston BDA-1
Dynamic Design MK2 IC X 2
Dynamic Design Bi-wire
Power e Chord
MIT AC1
MIT Z2

Flg2001,

I have just relocated from overseas to the USA and will be taking delivery of them within a few weeks. I can't wait to get them into my system. Anyone looking for a 18 months old Vandies 2 Ce Sig II?
