Funny that...after a long day of listening yesterday in a cable shoot-out at chez celluloid...the verdict was the VSMs were exactly the opposite of your experience. I was able to make it sound "cool" in the mids/tops by merely swapping cables. My own take on them is that they are so transparent that one can 'flavor' them easily with ancillary components...whereas, imo, Mahlers have a definite signature. I find that the VSMs really don't have a "sound" of their own...and are one of the few speakers which can make that claim. The original poster really would be better served by actually auditioning various speakers in home...it is worth the effort if one is spending this kind of money. Asking inmates to help him choose isn't really the best method.
