Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these?

kansas400...hello.  I have my VLR in an office that is 11’ x 11’.  Certainly not a good room acoustically due to it being square.  Like Greg, I have them firing straight ahead...no toe in.  They are approximately 5’ apart.  Greg is spot on with these being ideal for people with limited space or prefer a more discreet setup.  Sound wise, I rank these right up there with little ProAcs, only easier to position and cheaper price wise.  I’m also a Tannoy fan, so they occupy my living room.  They’re both relatively modest systems, but I get to enjoy the best of both worlds.  Vandersteen and Tannoy.....doesn’t get any better for me anyways.

Best and keep us posted.  Take care.
David

Carmenc,  
i have a pair of skylan two post stands as well.  What are the dimensions of your top plates on the stand?  Do the VLRs fit nicely?
thanks,
Gary

Gary, my top plate is 8” wide by 10” deep.  The VLR sit on them very nicely.  Just right for me.  I’m sure there are “better stands”, but I really like the Skylan.  Great bang for the buck I believe.  I have the two posts filled with kitty litter.  Yes, I inherited my mom’s 🐱 lol.  Looks nice too.  Keep us posted.

Regards,
David

Hi Drumsgreg - that is interesting you have both VLR and 2CE sig II. I don't have any issues with wife factor since the potential speakers would go in my man cave which is 12 by 20 ft or so.  So I could find a used pair of 2 CE sig 2 for under $2,000 or new VLRs with stands for about under $2,000 as well - so same price point. 

Given no issues with WAF or size limitations, if you had to pick either the VLRs or the 2CE in your drum room (your larger room) which would you pick? 

Yes Gary.....I think yours may look even better as you’ll have some overhang of the speaker’s bottom.  I think they’ll work great.  Got my Lil Vandys in Cherry....open box with full warranty.  Saved some $ this way.  If you’ve no local dealer, look to Audio Connection or Music Direct.  No relationship with either.  Just happy customer of both........  What electronics will you use?

David
