2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C)


I have a pair of 2C which I have had since the mid 80s.Other than the WAF they are great.
We just got an LG OLED and the spoken parts are pretty dire for sound, so looking at going 5.2…
Is staying in the Vandersteen lineup a good idea?Or should I be considering other options?
128x128holmz
Eric,Is the VCC is essentially a 3 channel sound bar?(Or when combined with Left and Right becomes 3 channel)

I have a processor coming so i am hopeful it will output and EQ some better audio.

And thanks.
It's just a center channel that is matched to be used with the Vandersteen line.  As you know, I personally feel that folks need to keep all their speakers with the centers that are built for their various lines to keep the sound similar.
Had to go get a new antenna cable as we moved the OLED on top of the fireplace hearth.
Listened to a sound bar while we were there… and after we left I asked the boss how she liked it. She said it was “screatching” to which I said, “yeah it seemed… bright”. She said she would not take that one for free.
So we are making progress.
The question to Eric was… The L/C/R does essentially what a sound bar does... right?
More than progress.  That's awesome stuff!!!

A good L/C/R is nothing like a sound bar to me.  They are separated for a reason.  There are so many compromises in even the most expensive bars, that you just can't get great sound out of them in a comparison.  JMHO, but I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying.

But is “like” a sound bar conceptually as it does L/C/R…
(Just in 3 pieces.)

Or… to put it another way


One would run both a sound bar and a L/C/R
