Vandersteen VCC-1

I have a good friend who is a Vandersteen dealer. Maybe I will ask to borrow one for an audition. Given my satisfaction with the small one, I’m sure your recommendation is a good one.

On the subject of Vandersteen, This evening my wife, son and I had dinner with the parents of one of his school mates. The father is the guy who‘s running his CD player into the Jolida 502B and Vandersteen 3 A Sig's I got for him here at Audiogon.

I can’t get over how nice his system is for so little money. Sure mine is better, but damn, I got his entire system for about the price of one of my Purist Audio Dominus Power cords.

People should be coming here in droves to put together reasonably priced audiophile systems.

Hi, Albert:

It's always good to hear from someone with a fine system that it's possible to assemble a high-resolution system for a reasonable amount by buying on A-gon. Most of my system, including all of my speakers, pre/pro, and power amps, were acquired from sellers on A-gon. The money I saved allowed me to build a much better system than I could otherwise have afforded. I realize that it's hard to avoid personal bias, but I found your comment about the Vandy 3A Sig's gratifying, They can form the foundation of an excellent, reasonably priced audio system. Getting a used pair simply makes the price-performance ratio even better.

Since you have a friend who is a Vandy dealer, you should by all means audition the VCC-5. If you do, please make a follow-up post and tell the rest of us what you think of this center channel speaker.

Thank you for all of the responses! Does anyone have any experience with any other centers that might blend well in a home theater system with vandy 2ce's as front mains?
