Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726

I have Vandersteens model 1s.  They are in great condition inside and out and I'm fairly happy with them.  Due to my new stereo fever I am considering purchasing Focal Chorus 726 speakers but I'm not anxious to spend $2000 if there is not much difference in sound quality.  If that is the case, I'd stay with the Vandys.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Doug

You can get a pair of used Vandersteen 2CE sigs for under 2K.  If you like the Vandersteen sound, that is what I would do.

but, I like Tomic601's suggestion of getting a 2wq sub first. Could get for around $600 used and make one hell of a difference

Another + for all the above suggestions that advise sticking with some model of Vandersteen.
