Help me choose a CL special - $200

Quick update. I have both the Met7's and the Vandy 1C's in house. They are both very good considering their price points. Bottom line, between the 2 with my equipment, the Met7's are the clear winner. Amazing little speakers. They virtually disappear and are incredibly dynamic. The Vandy's are more full sounding but I am still aware that I am listening to a speaker.

I am sure that if I upgraded my electronics and source that my option of these speakers may change. I am finding that the Vandy's are very sensitive to equipment and to placement. I am wondering if i have not properly placed the Vandys.

The MET 7's are a really good choice, particularly so since you have a sub. Nice you could hear both in your system. I too place a high value on a speaker being able to disappear as the sound source, and on dynamic range. Cheers.

Quick update. I have played with various settings and I think I have the Vandy's properly set up now.
The Met 7's still image better and are more dynamic while the Vandy's project a large warm sound that is really enjoyable. These are 2 very different sounding speakers but both have their own definite merits.

Good thing is that I have both now and I can switch and enjoy them both!

One note that I can add is that the subwoofer is a definite positive addition for both.

Probably can't go wrong with either speaker. My experience with the Vandy 1C taught me one thing: insure you have them at the proper tilt angle which for me meant almost no tilt if used in a small room.

@Timrhu, I will give that a try. The manual that comes with the speakers are amazingly detailed as to how to set them up. It is obvious that these people acknowledge how important the room is to the whole equation.
