I am considering Vandy 1C or 2CE sig II as my next purchase. I would like a speaker that would work in a small or large room. Would the 2's be too bass heavy in a small room(say 10' by 10')? Would I lose a lot of fidelity if I bought the 1C's?
Can you set up the room on a diaganol? 10x10 rooms are tough. This setup has the potential to give you the best sound. I would recommend the 1C in this situation.
The 2CE needs to be away from any walls to sound best, 2-3 feet minimum. In a room 10 x 10, using the 2's would be like wearing giant headphones. 3 feet from each wall and your head 2-3 feet from any wall-I call that near field listening.
I have 2CE sigs and initially I was using them in a room 8 X 13 with the speakers along one of the short walls. It sounded good but not as good as it does now in a room that's about 13 X 16. I'd get the 1C's.
