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

might be able to even squeak in the 3A sigs for under 2K

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.

+3 for adding a sub (or 2).
You'll be getting even better bass than a 3.
And, you will retain the small footprint of the 1's and have the ability to move the subs to where they can fit/work best.

While I get the sub thing.... I run a pair. The midrange/ tweeter/ x-over in the 2ce Sig II will be 10x better than the Model 1... and, they will fill a moderate size room with plenty of bass.
