Vandersteen 1Ci , your experience?

Hi, I hope you, and yours, are all well and safe.  In going over thoughts for a 2nd system, I have been thinking of various speaker systems.  I have no experience with the entry level Vandersteens.  If you want to, I would appreciate what your experience/ thoughts are with this model.  Would most likely be using them with a Magnum Dynalab receiver, Wireworld older Eclipse cables and a mid-level Oppo SACD/CD/DVD-A player.  The reason for thinking of a receiver is a couple of decent college Jazz/Classical stations in my area.  The only other receiver experience I have had goes back some time to the Nakamichi SR-3a.  Thanks,

Of the rooms I could use them in, the sizes would be 14x25, 12x14 and 12x15.  I have owned and liked the following brands in the past, original Advents, Dahlquist 10, Maggie 1.6, 3.6 and 20, Martin Logan Sequel, a couple of models of Quads...and, likely, others I have forgotten.  I am an old fart and do have some rock I listen to, but I am mainly a listener of classic Jazz from the last century and some classical.  Volume is not a factor as I listen at levels that will not make the dog leave the room.  Over the last 20 years I have become more of a listener of very good small college Jazz and Classical stations...esp. ones that do not compress or freq. limit their signals.  One of the small college stations seems to have some students that have discovered American Jazz from the 30s through early 70s and it is a joy to listen to the 20-something year old "D.J.s" love for the music....and nearly half of the students are females...and do take requests for some of the great female Jazz/Standards singers. 

Take care, Jim
