Albert: Due to the rather small size of my living/listening room, the Vandy VSM's were never actively considered -- my wife would not have stood still for that. I have, however, listened to the VSM's at a local dealer. Unfortunately, there is no local dealer than carries both Thiel and Vandersteen, so was unable to do an A/B comparison. Since we are on this subject, I don't know if you are interested in other options for surround speakers. If you are, I also listened recently to the new Snell tri-pole surrounds (MSRP about $1500), and they sounded excellent (you can also easily change the color of the grill cloth to match your decor).
Suggestions for In wall speakers?
I have searched old threads and cannot find postings regarding any of the following 'in wall' speakers.
Vandersteen VSM-1, B&W Signature 7NT, KEF Ci Reference 2000, and PSB CustomSound M6X6.1. I realize the Vandersteen is on wall, but I plan to cut away sufficient wall area to hide it, if chosen. The others are in wall designs and appeal to me for one reason or another. Any of you compared one of these to any other on my list?
Comments concerning tonal balance, dynamics and the ability to blend would be greatly appreciated. I realize this is not as ideal as floor standing models, but would still like the best this category has to offer.
