Set up for Vandy 2CE sigs
Hi, I had the 1C's a few years ago. I could not get them to lock-in either. I tryed everything. I'm not a big fan of Vandersteen speakers (1C' and 2CE's) they aren't real clear sounding (kinda veiled) and harder to drive for tube int. amps. I also... 
Looking for a speaker under $1000. used.
Thank you all for your replys. I've heard the Triangle Zerius and Celius models, they image and soundstage well, but probably not as musical as some others. Will look closer at the Soliloquy line, 5.3, 6.2, 6.3. And the Europa's, (yes Phasecorrect...

Vandersteens without sock and surrounding poles?
Hi, I wanted to do that to a pr. of 2ci's that I had a few years ago but did not because I thought I'd have a hard time reselling them. I'd think it would help the sound alot by removing the socks and poles. If you do it, let us know the outcome. ...

Philips 963 or NAD 541i
EARS, I was using the audio-out stereo pair till I read in What Hi Fi to use the left and right outputs of the 5.1 preouts that you mentioned. I just prefer a straight cd player and don't play DVD's or SACD's at this time. Thanks for your comments... 
Philips 963 or NAD 541i
Hi, I did not like the Philips 963 for standard cd's. I would go with the Music Hall CD-25 ($450.- $500. discounted) over the NAD 541i. And you can upgrade the power cord on the Music Hall plus built quality is a lot better that the NAD. Good luck...
