I own 810's and have owned 990's. The 990's need a lot of power to sing. 200 watts is not too much. If you listen to them with moderate power, what you might think is a problem with the speakers, really is the amp clipping. I drove mine with a VSP Transmosfet amp and they sounded fine. They also worked well with and Adcom GFA-555. Yes, I have heard Vandersteens and Time Windows. I like Vandersteens a lot but could never take to Time Windows or any other DCM speakers. The did many things very well but the did not come together for me. YMMV!

810's can run great on low powered tube or transistor amps. I guess that in itself is reason enough to prefer them, but with power, 990’s could do serious base. 12XX give you everything!
