Vandersteen 7s

I heard them after listening to a set-up with Wilson Sashas and the 7s (IMHO) blew them away. obviously different everything, front end + amlification-wise, but I am lusting now in a bad way...
they just seemed far more 'human', made the Wilsons seem artificial-sounding (and I own sophias...) - not an easy thing to do.

The review was very positive but why didn't he compare them to his Wilson's even though they cost more. I thought that was strange. Always helpful when a reviewer compares the subject to something else.

I agree with Khaki8. Why didn't Fremer compare the Vandersteen 7s with his Maxx 3? Perhaps the 7s are better than his Maxx 3 and he didn't want to be embarrassed?

Or he didn't want to embarrass Wilson!!

I guess Michael in fact did compare the Maxx 3 to the 7s. He mentioned the 7s were not the last word in dynamic slam and also the stage height wasn't the best in class.
