The Vandy's need space, the size of your room should work in your favor. On the other hand, though they are somehwhat warm and soft sounding, they do have wide dispersion. Room treatments like rugs and drapes can help a lot.
Vandersteen 2ce and McCormack floor models...
I have just received my Vandersteen 2ce speakers (took four months!!).. The shop where I bought the speakers has a McCormack set up consisting of the UPD-1 universal cd player,RLD preamp and the DNA125 amp. It sounds good. I gather from the forums here that Vandersteen and McCormack is a good marriage. Was wondering if these models are ok for the vandersteens and if he is selling these floor models, what kind of a price reduction is to be expected? Any suggestions for cables is appreciated as well.. he is using ?? but they cost 1500$. series named after vikings or something. sorry to be vague about that.
