Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III

Ozzy62, good info. Glad u like the Forte III's. I just can't buy without listening to both sets of speakers. Tomic601 has a solution to just buy both, do the A/B, then sell a set. What a long way around though. Sure miss the days of an Audio store everywhere you turned. 
The Forte's are new and therefore are the latest technology for that speaker. The Vandy's are 10 or 15 years old and won't have Vandersteen's most recent upgrades. I have read that he tweaks without changing the name of the speaker. Are any of those changes significant, like a woven composte midrange cone?

Man, a room that size!, if you have two corners free, may throw in a banana?, Klipschorns! very cheap used. I bought a pair without an audition. The (cheap) punt for me was worth it.Totally.
I am a horn guy, so maybe just a tad biased, although there are quite a few conventional loudspeakers that I could live with.

You are trying to compare two polar opposite speaker designs. I happen to love the sound of Vandies and think Klipsch sound like PA speakers, but that is only my opinion, no more or less valid than every other poster's.
Book a flight, audition what you might purchase, and buy smart.
 Don't buy ear-blind unless you don't mind the possibility of disappointment. Buy once, buy right.

Yes, yes and yes....I would love to get K-horns and I have the room for it. BUT, it would totally turn the room into audio only (not a bad thing), no big screen, furniture issues, selfish??  
Tomcarr, sound advice for sure. I'm going to ask a couple of repair shops if they know of anyone with the Vandy's and less likely, the Forte's that I could audition.
