However, we have never had a problem using Cardas spades on the Vandersteen binding posts.

Richard has gone to great lengths to make sure that the high-pass filter is extremely transparent. The woofer amp is driven by the main amp, so whatever signature your main amp has will also be transferred to the woofer, keeping things coherent.
You could also give the Vandy 3a Sigs a try. They don't have any of the above issues (although they are larger and less attractive than either the 2.4s or the Quatros).
