Replacement for Vandersteen 2C

I know that John knows his Vandersteens(and a lot more)! I have a similar situation and two speakers that have worked well for me are the Silverline Sonatinas and Opera Seconda(which is a sealed box speaker).I'm crrently auditioning a pair of Usher 6311 speakers which appear to have some promise.

Thank you all very much for your valuable suggestions, I don't have any problem with bass from the Vandys, It's just that the soundstage seems a bit cluttered.

Try the experiment I just laid out for you
This will clear up the sound stage in about 10 min or less.
With regard to the part of the speakers being too close to the corners do you get it now?

Livin,

I have an office system in a room only slightly larger than yours (15 x 11). The speakers are Vandy 2Cis and I have them centered on the long wall about 18" out and 7 ft. apart. They work wonderfully well with a good sound stage and excellent low end. I know because I used to have them in a large (18 x 33) room and got very well acquainted with their sound. Any chance you could try them on the long wall?

Audioconnection, the speakers are about 2.5' from the side walls. So the effective separation between the speakers (measured from tweeter to tweeter) is about 6', and they are about 2.2' from the rear wall, no toe-in. I tried toe'ing them in, but the soundstage gets messed up.

Zargon, can't use the long walls, as one site has a patio door and a glass window and the other side has the enterance to the room and a closet.
