Speakers after GMA Europas


Hello everyone,

I had to sell my gear about a year ago to finish up grad school and I want to start building my setup again simply because I miss it so much. My current budget is about $2500 for both speakers and amp but do not know where to go. I had the GMA Europas which I loved and cannot decide what to replace it with.

What would you suggest for both speakers and amp?

As a former Europa owner I can attest to their unique spatial qualities but ultimately craved more and tighter bass...havnt completely solved the equation but Vandersteen 2s are in the running...
I don't believe the Vandersteen 2s offer any GMA design competition. But that's just me.......
