Vandersteen VCC or 2ci as a center channel?


I am using Vandy 2ci as front channels, Magnepan MMG as rear and I am looking for a center channel. Any reason not to buy a pair of used 2ci (two for the same price as one VCC1)? I can use one 2ci as a center on its side at the base of the big screen and the second speaker for the rear center when the new 6.1 system becomes more popular. Or, is there something the VCC offer that the 2ci does not?

You need to read the descriptions on Vandersteens' website. The 2ci's are made to sit upright, the tweeter and midrange are slightly sloped. You will be better off with a VCC . Although I would use the second pair of 2ci's for the rear, they will blend much better and your bass response will be improved with full range speakers in the rear. Watch your volume levels on some videos, its' only an 8" woofer.
I use 3a sig in front with 2ci in back, I am searching for a VCC sig. I aiso have (2) 2wq subs... highly reccommended for video.
