replacements for Vandersteens ??

For a full range floor stander that is easy to place and will be everything you're looking for you can check out the Tekton Design M-Lore, Lore, or OrielTen, and Lore-S. They range from $650-$1300.

As a former Vandersteen owner I second the Tekton M-Lores. They not only sound great but are easy to place and not that expensive. I have driven them with SS and tubes with great effect......

Heck, grab some Acoustic Research AR-9's or 90's. Both very full range in sound, and sound very good with about any type of music. Plus, they're designed to be mounted flush to the rear wall. They need a bit of power. But, I run my 90's on a 70 watt (high current) amp with out issues. Though, I play back music at fairly modest levels.

Good luck!
