Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2


I am contemplating a speaker purchase. I was going to look into either a used vandy 5a or eggleston andra ii. But, I think they would both be too big for my small 12x14 room. I am also married to my 50 w triode monoblocks and I fear they would not provide sufficient power for either choice.

This leads me to the less well known janszen and a pair of demo nola metros. I have always liked the enormous magnepan 3.7 soundstage. I however found them always lacking in image specificity. So as the advice comes, please keep in mind my soundstage reference and goal is along the lines of the big Maggie's. I have read that the raven tweeter and open baffle in the nola result in a giant presentation. I am not as sure about the janszens.

Has anyone heard both of the speakers I am considering? My desire is to improve upon the sound of the Gallo ref 3.5 that I currently have. I would like a larger, taller deeper soundstage with Improved pinpoint proved imaging.

I recognize this may be an odd request, but I am hoping for real world experience as I have no way to hear either prior to purchasing the speakers. The janszens have a trial period going in their favor.

Fwiw David janszen was a pleasure to talk with about his speakers. If congeniality were a sound quality i would tip my hat to janszen.

I'm sorry if this violates Audiogon convention, but I'd like to weigh in, just to state that the effect is headphone-like, in terms of immediacy, but is not "in the head", like the sound from headphones and some planar speakers is.
I am keeping the Janszens. A great speaker that suits my listening tastes much better than the myriad of other speakers I listened to in comparison. I have yet to hear the Nola, but I will at some point and decide then what differences I hear. Some may find close to 10k for speakers paltry, but I do not find it insignificant. However, I feel like I am getting my money's worth. What sounded like lossy compression on other 15-20k speakers the Janszens revealed as distortion in the crappy quality music files I sometimes listen to for background music.
$10K "paltry"?? Hardly. Congratulations on your choice, you made the decision the right way, with your ears and in your room.
