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?

@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'...🤔

I own the Quatros and nothing beats the 10 band bass equalizer in each speaker and the damping controls for room tuning. One can dial these speakers precisely to the room and achieve spectacular results. The time alignment doesn’t hurt either...
