Best surround speakers w/Vandersteen 2c & vcc1


Looking for best surround speakers for my home theatre. Own Vandersteen 2C and VCC1 center channel. Vandersteen surround speakers seem pricey. Are there any alternates?

I use a pair of B&W 302DM in the rears; while I'm very particular about music, the 302's do a great job in my room for HT. And the cost was right. I admit to have been thinking about a pair of Vandy 1C's (used). But right now I'm happy...and the money might be better used on a center upgrade. Speaking of which...

Sd, did you compare the VCC-1 sig with the standard VCC-1? Worth the upgrade? Any thoughts on the VCC-5?

Thanks.

Sd,

Thanks. I already have the 3A Sigs...so, I'll hold off. I'm still trying to get my 3A's to disappear, but unfortunately, I'm not sure why I can't get them to image as well as some have written about (maybe my transport being a sony s7000). I thought they were great until I heard the silverline sonatinas at a friends. It's almost as if the tweeter output has better dispersion than the midrange driver (dome vs. cone)...whereas the sonatinas are both domes. All cables and other components...as far as I can tell...are NOT weak links...including A/C outlets to polycrystal rack to I/C's and DACT passive attenuator.

As for the price of the VCC-5's...yeah, that seems high - I can't understand why they're 2g's. I have heard one other person state they are fantastic - that person claimed to hear things not heard though the VCC-1 (not sure if sig).

Thanks!
