Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
Coincidentally I heard the Vandy 1Cis at AudioConnection this summer with Quicksilver tube amps playing Doug McLeod as well.  I was there to buy Treo Cts. I did purchase them and they are fantastic!  The thing is, the most impressive, surprising e...
