Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room?


Hi,

I am considering Vandy 1C or 2CE sig II as my next purchase. I would like a speaker that would work in a small or large room. Would the 2's be too bass heavy in a small room(say 10' by 10')? Would I lose a lot of fidelity if I bought the 1C's?

The 2CE needs to be away from any walls to sound best, 2-3 feet minimum. In a room 10 x 10, using the 2's would be like wearing giant headphones. 3 feet from each wall and your head 2-3 feet from any wall-I call that near field listening.
