tomic601, just got a pair on the way used, just looking for tips, and things like that. i own a pair of 2ce Signatures MKII that i bought from dealer in Atlanta, GA, also have a pair of 2WQ . |
yes, i bought them off of ebay.
|
thanks Joey54, i plan on using these in my bed you system, for now i will use them with my main rig down stairs, schiit audio Freya, vidar mono blocks , Vandersteen 2wq two of them. i will pull them away from the wall to see how they do as well. Greg |
well , these speakers came in Friday, man alive , these are fantastic sounding speakers. i can't believe the bass you can get out of them, up against the wall, pointing straight forward they image very well . i am glad i bought them. |
gcknapp, i have them on 24 inch stand that i bought from Ascend Acoustic for another pair of monitor i had. i use them with and without the Vandersteen 2wq sub. for most of the jazz that i have , these do fine, they cover the standup bass very well, with some Fusion i use the sub, but was just as please without them too. if i had a small to medium room, these would have been great. Richard said on his site that they sell a lot of VLR Woods with the 2WQ sub as a 2.1 system. |
gcknapp, the stands are 7.5 wide 10.5 deep 24 tall with out the spikes, dry sand or cat litter can be used to fill them. |
still holds, i really like them a lot , now trying to work my Vandersteen 2WQ with them. these are the speaker i would get if room was paramount, they do sound awesome by themselves with the music i listen to. they really sound like the go lower than the specs say. i am a pro drummer, the tone of the kick comes thru nicely on them, cymbals have the right amount of decay and shimmer, the snare drum , you can tell if its a metal or wood drum very easy. i really do like them...a lot

all i know is i wished i would have heard these much sooner, they are by far the best small loudspeaker I've ever heard, lots of detail, very dynamic, image like there nobody`s business. Some speakers just speak to the heart with the way they portray music to you. i listen to mostly small jazz groups and powerful fusion groups and i have not been disappointed yet in their performance at all. i would take these over the Magnepan .7 any day of the week,ive owned a few, mmg, 1.6, 1.7i, mini maggies with two dwms..these just work. great speaker! |
Kansas400, i do have Vandersteen 2WQ and the M-5HPB crossovers, i tried it, but really love them without the 2WQ`S. I do however the love the 2WQ`S with my Vandersteen 2CE Signatures MKII better for some reason. i actually bought the VLR Woods for my bed room setup, i just tried them in my big rig in my drum room first. Mine are set right up against the back wall facing straight ahead. My room is 13 x 19, i have them setup on the short wall. These should be on everyones very short list for speakers under 2000.00 and anyone who has limited space to put speakers in their homes. My wife and i just shake ours heads , they are that good. Greg |
Kansas, the 2CE Signatures are a much better speaker in every way, better bass, mids to die for, the cymbals have just the right amount of decay to them that no other speaker in that category has, this was very importance to me. Space was the main issue for me, i gave up about 3 and half feet in the room with my 2ce, but less than 10 inches with VLR Woods. the VLR Woods had enough meat on the bone as carmenc mention and imaged very well for the music, ill move the 2CE out to the living room and them there. |
gcknapp, i saw a pair at music direct a few weeks ago ( demo ) |
gcknapp, did the rep say when theses would be ready and did they have a pair at AXPONA? |
i sent an email to them and i received the same reply, no info until a month or so from now.
|
i just wanted to know if the mid -bass driver will also be a carbon driver. |
these speakers rock, i finally hooked up my 2WQ subs and it takes this little system to another level. these are great sounding little speakers. question... are these upgradeable to the signature or is that a new speaker form Vandersteen. |
Any word on the new VLR wood with the carbon tweeter? i may get a pair of those as soon as they are released . |
tomic601, thank you for the info on these. i was hoping they would be around 2000.00 for the pair. The little WOODS are kicking some serious butt with the twin 2WQ`s. the new ones would have to be really really great for me to step up!
|
Thanks Tim for the info on the tweeters, i have no doubt they are fantastic and worth every penny, its just my wallet may have to wait a bit. |
i decided to keep mine as well instead of getting a newer pair CT VLR`s. they sound fantastic and work well were i have them. |
