Floorstanders 3K


I have been out of the audiophile loop for awhile and after a decade or so I have been bitten by the upgrade bug and am looking to replace my Vandy 2CE signatures. I would like something a little more "livelier" and better suited for listening to classic and modern rock. I would prefer not to have to use a sub if possible. Sources are evenly split between digital and analog, running Rogue M-120 monoblocks for amplification and Rogue 66 magnum preamp. Room is roughly 16 X 16 but also opens up to a kitchen/dining area (open concept). Need some direction on where I should start looking.

I love my Von Schweikert speakers (the "VSA" that I asusme Glenfihi is suggesting above). But the liveliness of them will depend on the assoiciated equipment in my experience. With the right amp, you will get it. I kept wishing my VR-4 Gen IIs were a bit more forward, until I got my associated equipment dialed in. Now perfect, for my tastes. But not as forward and lively as something like a Klipsch or Audiokinesis speaker.
