| New 1c's or used 2ci's Definitely get the 2 Ci. The 2Ci has a 3/4" alloy dome tweeter, a 4 1/2" midrange, an 8" woofer, and a 10" acoustic coupler - all custom manufactured by Vandersteen. I have owned a pair since 1992 and have enjoyed their precise imaging, clarity an... | |

| the listening room: "golden ratio"? Joeb,You might consider opening the ceiling to the roof (cathedral). I have a second floor listening room over the garage that is 18'W x 28'D with 9' walls and a 13' peak. It is very close to the golden ratio. The extra height really opens up the ... | |
