Affordable TurnTable shoot-out.....

Do you drink when you listen?

Monoblock disadvantage or...?

Contemporary/Smooth Jazz..just overprocessed?

Vandy 2Ce Signature Vs. Vandy 2Ce
Folks! I've owned Vandys 1ce and the more power I've throuwn on to them the the more sound they gave. They like the high current as well since their impedance varies between 2 and 6 ohms. Vandys 2ce have the same load characteristics with extra dr...
