Hi kansas400. Currently I’m using mine sans sub in a small room. I have them about six inches from the wall behind them. I have them on 24” high Skylan two post stands. I feel like I’m getting plenty of bass this way. There is plenty “meat on the bones” and a real good solid foundation to the music. I thought about a sub, but given my size room I’ll refrain from doing so. If I was in a larger room, I’d consider it. Yes, I would think the Vandy sub would be the way to go. A Rel also.
These “Lil Vandys” just continue to put a smile on my face. I’ve passed on opportunities to get larger Vandersteen. I’m glad I finally stayed committed to the VLR. I’ve ordered a Belles Aria integrated amp. This should make for a very synergistic system from all I’ve read and with the help of John Rutan.
Hope this helps some. I would just start with the VLR set up similar to mine and go from there after you’ve had a chance to acclimate yourself to them. Then perhaps consider a sub. Get yourself some Audioquest cabling eventually as well. There is a reason why so many Vandy owners use AQ. Just sounds right together!
Best of luck and keep us posted on your journey. Let me know if I can help further. Best.....
