| Bookshelf Recommendations +1 for Vandy VLR's.I owned a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelves, but the Vandies leave them in the dust.Bob | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) @OP,Vandy's sound good at just about any sound level.Someone recommended the 1ci's. I would also recommend the VLR's.I have them in my office, mounted near the ceiling (my desk is almost underneath them)with a pair of Hsu subs.I find them very lis... | |
