My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1


First off I must truly say how much I love this form and the wealth of information, the members provide. I was lucky to pick up a pair of Vandersteen Model 1 Speakers for a prayer. Lets say they were almost given away. The aesthetics of the speakers are I would have to say about a 9, seems as though they were frozen in time. I do not know much about these particular speakers. My question to the knowledgeable members out there, are these speakers any good and are they worth giving a go! I was planning on using them with my McIntosh MC30 tube amps. I got these from my Step father, he no longer has any use for them and figured I would like them. I guess I will hang on to them for a while and see how the Vandersteen sound with them.

Any input will be well appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Dhunte, and welcome to Audiogon. First to answer your question about the Vandersteens They are decent speakers at their price point and if they sound good to you and considering the price, enjoy them. I'm wondering if you are a new poster to this forum? No other responses from our esteemed members yet. They are a strange lot here, not often will you get a straight answer or opinion to your questions. Often more questions, some that should be asked, but quite often a condescending and snobbish answer is offered. It reminds me of how salesmen in some 'high end' audio shops would treat customers back in the day. I'm sure there is no shortage of arrogance today in some quarters. Anyway, welcome and keep the questions coming.
