@jjss49 My 2C have not been overly sensitive to amplifiers. They sound, and have sounded, good with most amplifiers that drove them (PSE, VTL, NAD, PrimaLuna). I only wish that some of that amps lasted longer.
I’m sure that the newer Vandys are better.
My confirmation bias point was that people that like Vandys are also people that may not like Klipsch or other bright and hard to listen to speakers. If the OP had suggested Klipsch, then the comments would be filled with Klipsch fanbois (or fans of some other speaker brand),
As I mentioned at the end:

so while i may fit into the theory of confirmation bias in favor of vandy’s, i would say that my preference for vandy’s and the sound they present is not developed without ample experience to thiels as an alternativeThe Thiels were also speakers that were time and phase correct. So one is comparing speakers that are more technically closer to each other than two wildly different different speakers. Hence tjhe comment:
“One cannot go too wrong with either”

… one should be mindful that the group has a high degree of bias, irregardless of the fact that they are probably right.
