Vandersteen VCC-1 center and the 2WQ subwoofer

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried hooking up the Vandersteen VCC-1 in combination with a 2WQ subwoofer so that the deep frequencies are set to the subwoofer rather than all the info coming from the center channel. Does it help make a system sound more open and warm? The manual says not to try this arrangement. The manual says a 2wq can be used with the surround speakers so why not the center. I'm thinking someone out there might be doing this arrangement anyways. Is it worth it?

You're better off getting the VCC-5 in this case. It has plenty of extension and does a superb job. You'll also find that the center channel can be blended into the sub or L/R speaker with some processors. You probably won't need to if you have the VCC-5, but it's worth experimenting with.
Good luck!

The sound difference between the two is enourmous. I have a VCC-1 in my living room system and there's really no comparison. The VCC-5 is the best CC I've ever heard. Add a couple of Vandersteen full range speakers on the sides with a good processor and you're set.

Yes, it's hooked up in the same way. No, it hasn't been changed that I know of.
