Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures

+100!!!!

I'm of the opinion that a used pair of 2cs or 3a Sig's with  pair of 2wqs might be the greatest bang for the buck in high end audio.

@bstat or a used pair of 5a or Quattro

Yes even better if funds allow. Personally I would love a pair of Quatro CT'sBut for sheer value the 2ce's or 3a sig's/ 2wq combo is hard to beat. It says something that they are both still being made all these years later. Someone must be buying them. The 2wq's having just been replaced but at twice the price with the new Sub 3's.

I have Spatial Audio M3 Triode Masters with Cronus Magnum II and Ayre codex.
Absolutely amazing and much better than the Vandersteen Treo (not CT) and Goldenear Triton Reference I had before with same equipment and in same room. To me, it is next level sound compared to Vandersteen, Magnepan, Goldenear and many other old school brands. I have auditioned many, many high end items and tried dozens of pairings with equipment searching for the best and most realistic sound.

To my ears, it’s Rogue Cronus Magnum II for integrateds, Ayre Codex for dacs (fed by Bluesound Node 2) anti-cables and Spatial Audio open baffle Triode Master speakers.

I cannot believe how realistic these speakers are. Open baffle is the way of the future. 
Imaging and soundstage has to be heard to be believed. Not sure what more could be gained by spending more. 

Apple should buy the company, could easily see them at Apple stores everywhere and get the masses into Hifi.
