Vandersteen Surround HELP


Has anyone used Vandy 1C's as surround sound speakers. My new Music Theater will allow for my surround speakers to out away from the walls and almost free standing in the room. So I'm looking for suggestions from anyone who might have tried these as surrounds. My other options will be VLR-1's and then VSM-1's. My front speakers are 3A Signatures and the V2W for my subwoofer. Thank You in advance for any advise that you can offer.

Would also love to see the replies. I have just bought Quattros to join my 2SigII's in expanding to a HT setup.

Good luck with your setup
The best choice would be the Vandersteen VSM on wall.
This allows you the furthest distance and height
which will simply blend and perform best with your existing Vandersteen speakers.

Check the Vandersteen Technical Information Q&A webpage if you'd like Richard Vandersteen's opinion. I remember seeing similar Q&A such as this one:

Steve (3/03/08): I have 2Ci's I bought new ~20yrs ago and they are still working well. I'm looking to change from 2 channel to 5.1 surround (for movies). I would like to buy the new 2Ce sig II's for the fronts (L/R) (esp. for music). Do you recommend I use the 2Ci's or VSM's for rear (side wall) surround sound? If the VSM is recommended over the 2Ci for side surround sound then is there any other use for my 2Ci's (e.g. 7.1 surround rears)? Another idea might be 2Ci's in the rear instead of on the side wall for the rear surround in a 5.1 setup?

Answer: HELLO STEVE, VSM-1'S FOR THE SIDE AND REAR WOULD BE BEST. IF YOU DO NOT NEED SPEAKERS FOR YOUR GARAGE YOU COULD USE THEM IN THE REAR AND VSM-1 FOR THE SIDE. UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY LONG ROOM YOU ARE BETTER OF DOING 5.1 WITH MORE SUBS AND A UPGRADED CENTER WITH YOUR MONEY.
