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?

Actually, my current room is 15 x 25 but I like trying speakers in different rooms, many of them small. I'm thinking that the 1C's would sound good in a small or large room were as the 2CE is better suited for a larger room. To this day the best sound I have heard at my house is a pair of MMG's in a 11 X 13 room with 14 foot ceilings positioned diagonally as Narrod suggested.

My first pair of audiophile speakers that I heard was a pair 2CE sigs at Audio Atlanta about ten years ago. They blew me away. Now it's time to buy Vandersteen for my own home after going through twenty different pair.

All things considered, other than bass, do the 1C's give me a good dose of the Vandersteen sound or are the 2CE sig II vastly superior sonically?

Thanks,

Pete

Hi John

What is the 2WQ high pass? Is it part of the subwoofer? Will this setup work with an integrated amp?

I'm thinking that a Beringer EQ might work if I want to fit the 2CE sigs in a smaller room one day

Thanks

Pete
