Vanatoo speakers - should I get them for hifi sound?


   Anyone familiar with Vanatoo transparent zero speakers?
Are they approaching real hifi sound?
...or at lest good midifi?

I am a music teacher and was considering recommending these for my students who are not willing to spend a fortune for sound - they think Bose is good enough...agh

I own the Zeros and use them in my office. Quite happy with them and prefer them over similarly prices audioengines. Better fidelity for sure and a more powerful set of options such as the onboard DAC, subwoofer output etc. 
Chiming in again, besides owning audioengine and vanatoo zeros I also own some KEF LS50Ws. The KEFs are easily the best as they really are a pretty amazing speaker and flexible given these are active with DSP. They are too large for me to put on a desk or office sized room which is where I use my Vanatoos. I love my Vanatoo Zeros for desk and a small room. If I had a regular or smaller sized room I'd probably opt for the new 1s instead of the Zeros. The audioengines are fine but not the same fidelity as the Vanatoos nor as flexible with setup etc. Hope this is informative.
