vandersteen Quatro or sonus faber elipsa

Both are excellent, good matches with your amp. While the Sonus Fabers are known as speakers for the music lover, I would say that the Vandys are as well, they are very versatile speakers that don't favor one genre of music over another. One possible advantage of the Vandersteens is their built-in bass amplifiers, which might make integration with your room a little better.

I think the Quatros are a better choice for your amp with their own amp for
the bass leaving plenty of power to drive the mid range and highs. The Elipsa
on the other hand is a very demanding load at 2.5 ohm in the upper bass and
might tax your amps power compromising the sound. Also the Quatro's will
work well in the size room you have.

I use the Treo's and are moving up to the Quatro as soon as I can sell my Treo's. Misnomer, Vandersteen are best for rock. Can't be further from the truth actually. It's design allows it to not smear transients and that means 'clean' sound. Yes, it's very dynamic, however I love it best when it shows how correct it gets the timber, pace and rhythm. To me if a speaker is THAT good, it will give you a honest presentation and that means is will probably get all music correct. The best part is that you will be able to dial it into your room, so you can basically put the speakers where you want them and not where they have to be. That's one reason I want the Quatro CT. Many feel this speaker is their money speaker. For the price it gives you the best bang for the buck. Which dealer will you use?

Conrad's which speaker did you end up with?  Would love to hear.  thanks.
