Volsfan, I know those speakers and they are very good, but speakers are the most subjective component you can get. Looks as well as sound. There is no speaker at any price that is the best looking or best sounding, lol. Yes, I've heard nothing but great things about Jim and each time I've heard his speakers, I"ve enjoyed them, but like all the others in this thread, the OP needs to hear them and decide.
I LOVE the VAndersateen line and have auditioned most of the contenders out there. I'm very used to listening to ultra high end systems as I'm blessed to have some good friends in the audio world, but Vandersteen's are the best or best for the money. They are just the best for ME as well as other owners. The same goes for the other brands out there.
It's awesome that you love yours that much though as that's what audio is all about and what makes the forums fun. :).
