Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT

Hi,

I am trying to decide whether to keep my Harbeth 40.2 or acquire the Vandersteen Quatro CT.  

I listen to all kinds of music and the room is moderate size.  I would be using pass labs 260.8 monoblocks on either speaker.

I really like the Harbeth but I always wanted to try a Vandersteen  too.   Alas neither room nor budget allows me to keep both...

Anyone hear both on similar equipment?

I wish I could audition the Quattro but decided to leave it up to resale gods and if can get fair price will sell the harbeth.

I played Tinariwen last nite on the 40.2 and sounded sweet so if doesn't sell already a happy camper

@karmapolice   The 40.2's were my get-off-the-merry-go-round speakers.  You may regret this.

@karmapolice , 
Though I understand you desire to look into new speakers, I think your happiness with Harbeth should be something that keeps you from pursuing change-at least until you can find a dealer who will allow you to audition the Vandy's at home.
I have never heard Harbeth speakers, but I have heard great things about them. 
Yes, I would like to demo them, but I wouldn't sell my Treo's in order to find out if they floated my boat.
Just sayin'
Now, what was that quote about 'Answered Prayers'...🤔
