RE: Why do my Vandersteen's sound...

I appreciate this line of thought and agree 100% that good and bad recordings make a huge difference. However, I have listened to a plethora of both in high-res formats and even the good ones get choked out to a degree with which I am uncomfortable.

And yes, they are popular and the due excel at many things. I just don't believe orchestral music is one. I am very particular about string sounds because I have experience playing in orchestras and feel the need to recreate that as closely as possible. I absolutely know what "real" sounds like and even after borrowing and trying a number of different amps they never get there. They get closer, but don't get there. I think it is just time for a change.

Thanks again for your kind and helpful response!
