Good gravy Marakanetz, there is nothing mounted on the poles that support the grille cloth in any of the Vandersteens. The bass drivers are located in the cabinet below. Go to the Vandersteen web sight and look at the speaker. The drivers are mounted as solid as in any speaker. The are not "Cabinetless" They are baffleless! This means that the CABINET is as small as possible around the speakers drivers to prevent interaction. Something a lot of higher priced manufacturers could take note of!
Vandies a good fit ?
Upgrade time for my speakers. Heard Vandersteen 2CE Signatures and liked the sound, but I can see 2 possible problems.
1. I only have 26 inches from the rear wall. So the 10 inch thick Vandersteen's will have 16 inches of air behind them.
2. My amp is a 45 watt tube CJ MV-52. Passive preamp. CD player and tube tuner. I listen to classical and jazz at low to moderate levels.
Will the Vandies work?
