Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III


I'd like to get input on a comparison of both of these speakers. I have not heard them. No dealers in my area. I realize it may be an apples to oranges match up to many but want to hear the pros and cons of both. Haters welcome!!  I'll be driving them with a Mac 6200 integrated. 75w into 8 ohms and 100w into 4 ohms. Room is 27x18x10h. I listen to all music. Some vinyl. Appreciate moderate base, clarity in vocals, imaging, and like the speakers to "disappear".  Thoughts?

Sorry late night alphabetitus. Went from Vandy 2CE Signature II's to the Signature 3A's. The Signature and an A on the serial number marking the difference over older Model 3's. Here's a link for a really nice pair at a great price  of $2000. off original retail:

Serial #2266A, Vandersteen can supply approx. manufacture date.
Jump in and get your feet wet. You can't duplicate your sound space listening in someone else's.
The 3A has many components from the Series 5 and are outstanding.
You should enjoy them for many years. At the very worst you can resell for what you paid or more.
Jump in, the waters fine, good luck.


Hifiman55, too funny. I hear ya on the "jump in" part. When u said a Sig II 3a I thought I was already behind on new iterations. Speakers are sort of like cell phones, you can keep waiting for the next version forever and get nothing in the meantime !! Buying without hearing em is a big leap for me. There is a guy now that says I may be able to audition. 
Owning modified Klipsch Lascalas / powered subwoofers, I have to say that there is a night and day difference between a Vandersteen and Klipsch ( Heritage models specifically ). Different tastes, different listeners. Ozzy 62 said it best. For what I enjoy, I have chosen my path. And, for all who don’t know, or cannot imagine, " they " do all those things the Vandys are known to do.
Mrdecibel, I understand what you're saying.
I'm not trying to have the forum "tell" me what I like or don't like. It's an individual thing. But, it's all this collective conversation that sheds light on what I may or may not like and how to determine in what direction I want to go. Ultimately it's my listening experience and no one else's that matters. But, your opinions do matter.
I am guilty of "analysis paralysis" at times. But I think that's kind of understandable in this hobby. There are so many subjective and objective variables that have to be considered. In many ways that's the appeal and mystic to it all. In the end, no one is ever wrong if he/she likes what they like. It's great to have a spot like this where ideas and opinions can be shared. 
@heardthat.......Why I said " for what I enjoy ". I am in my 60s and have been at this recorded music listening hobby since my early teens. I was in the industry as well. Owned much of it, and heard much of it ( equipment / speakers, etc ). Always had the ability of listening for myself. I have helped others with their systems ( I am semi retired ). Many were, and many were not, horn owners. There are an amazing amount of speakers out there to consider. But what you are finding is the passion folks here have about what they own. Many affluent hobbyists here on the 'Gon. You are not being " told " anything. Try and listen for yourself. It is all about you. Enjoy your journey. MrD
