2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C)

Also, the most important thing to me is having the same speaker voicing for the C that you won't get if you step away from the brand you use for L and R 2 channel.

I agree with Eric.  Vandersteen's are outstanding to many of us.  They make the best speaker to integrate with yours.  

It's just a center channel that is matched to be used with the Vandersteen line.  As you know, I personally feel that folks need to keep all their speakers with the centers that are built for their various lines to keep the sound similar.

More than progress.  That's awesome stuff!!!

A good L/C/R is nothing like a sound bar to me.  They are separated for a reason.  There are so many compromises in even the most expensive bars, that you just can't get great sound out of them in a comparison.  JMHO, but I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying.

You know how much I love my two channel for tv in my room. Lol

Sounds awesome. Happy for you.
