Not only is any Vandersteen great at their price point, but the company will always take care of any problem that might come up. Excellent customer service. ( Yup John at Audio Connection is great)
Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
I have not had the time to devote to listening to my system for a few years... Now that I am retired, I want to set up a system in a small room (12 X 14). I am leaning toward small floorstanders so I don't have to mess with stands. I am considering the Vandersteen 1Ci and the Tekton Lore Reference--but I see that the Fritz Grove is on special for $800, so they are also under consideration. My amp is a Cayin A50T EL 34 tube integrated. The nearest Vandersteen dealer is a couple of hours from my house, so I am able to listen to them. I sent an inquiry to Tekton over a week ago, and have not heard back--I had the same problem lack of communication with them several years ago, when inquiring about the original Lores. On the other hand, I have talked with Fritz several times in the past, and he goes out of his way to discuss his products. At one time I did demo one of his older products, a MTM design. I am hesitant to contact him yet about the Groves, until I am reasonably sure I would purchase them--He is so accommodating, that I feel guilty if I don't purchase something!
At at any rate, I am looking for something that would work well in my small (basement) room, that has a reasonably wide sweet spot (two or three seats). Thanks in advance for all input!
