Vandersteen 2c vs Mirage M1


Hi
I purchased a pair of Mirage m1. Because of travel plans, I can not pick up till afer new years. I currently have Vandy 2cs. What should I expect from the Mirage? Which set of speakers do you think I will like best.

To complicate matters I am trying to decide whether to go with surround or stick with 2 Channel. If I went with surround would I use as a match for Mirage speakers.

You need to give us a little more info..
What kind of amps are you planning to run the M1s with...
They are super power hungry. Definately a Monoblock situation would be best....
I have had M3s , and presently own M5si and most of the other Mirage line..
The M1s a friend of mine has and is running them with
monoblocks tweeked from B & k. I still dont believe he has enough power...
I am not familar with the Vandys sound ...
For a Theater application, you should get an OMC 2 center channel... it is Mirages best at this point. I have one and love it.. I Bi amp it with an Aragon 8002.
Rears depend on what kind of space you have.. Ideally, a pair of the newer OM series would be great.. the Om9 or
even an older pair of Om 10...
Hard to say without knowing your room, gear and musical tastes..
Good luck, the M1s are a great speaker!!
