Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
I have owned the Vanersteen 1Cs as well as the Tekton Lores. Absolutely love the music the Vandies put out. Luckily I bought the Tektons used so when I sold them a couple weeks after purchase, I didn’t lose much. The Lores had a nice enough tonal ...
