Sorry, almost never did anything for me

Hi-
Thanks for writing, but for some reason the Vandersteens at all price points never struck me as the bargains their adherents claim they are.
Only once, at the NYC Show in perhaps 1996, driven by Melos tubes, did they really lose the sense of the music being trapped inside a box for me.
NOW, before anyone goes ballistic, count to ten, and reflect back upon all the times AA posters have complained to the high heavens that everything gets a good review from Stereophile writers.
Ya can't have it both ways.
Cordially,
John
