Set up for Vandy 2CE sigs


Have been very interested in the Vandersteen line. I've tried for days to get a pair of 1C's to sound good in my room, either with the manual, or by ear, but can't quite get it right. Am not hearing the ''laid back'' natural sound I was expecting.
I can try the 2CE sigs this weekend, so would appreciate any opinions on the main sonic and set up differences between the 1's and 2's.

FYI, my room is 14 x 14 x 7, square, but dedicated, and using Sim Celeste pre and power.

Thanks folks,
Mike

I've enjoyed both 1Cs and 2CEs in combo with a tubed (EL34) push pull 30wpc integrated driven by a Meridian 508.24. Running with Siltech ICs and Cardas NR speaker cable in a 15x12x8 room. Listen, primarily, to acoustic jazz and sometimes at higher volume. Placement took some patience with both models and my complaints mainly lie with the space, not the hardware. IMO there is a significant step up from the 1C to 2CE, especially the Sig model. Great value for the money.
