Sorry, I can't remember, but didn't the 1+1's come with a sub? It's been 15 years since I've heard them, but I don't remember them as having the dynamics comapared to today's speakers. Yes, they produced a wonderful soundstage and were quite musical when properly setup, but I don't think they'd make a great HT speaker. I have a pair of Acoustat 2+2's that are boxed and garaged because they just didn't produce when in the HT evironment. They sounded great and had decent dynamics with a 100W class A amp when used for music, but not so wonderful when used for HT. Soundstaging just is not as critical because you have a center channel where most of the voices come from. Even though you have a small room, I think you'd be better suited by using your vandy's (possibly upgrading to signatures), and buying a good sub. I also agree with Sean-Acoustat's were never known for being efficient speakers and my center channel had to be turned way down and the mains way up to try and match the acoustats- but my center channel still was much too prevelent. I thought it might be because of lack of content to the mains, but when I used a more efficient speaker, it made a huge difference.

Hi
One of the best speakers I have listened to was a pair of 1+1's a while back. Right now use Vandy 2Ce's and looking to get into HT. Pondering using Acoustat 1+1's as fronts.
Any suggestions on whether there are speakers that would match well with them for surrounds and center? Music and movies is equally important.
My room size is 18x10.5 with 10 ft ceilings.
