I heard the Vandersteen VLR in John's (Audioconnection's) showroom with a pair of Vandersteen subs. Assuming they will work next to a wall (and John seems to think so from his post) I would highly recommend them. The combination of these speakers and the Vandy subs was some of the best sound I've heard anywhere, and took me completely by surprise. IMHO, of course. If you play them loud, though, without the subs, you will get some distortion and less clarity in the bass area; that completely goes away when you cross them over for the subs.
Small monitor- made in the states
I'm looking for a small speaker to go on a shelf- I expect to add a sub and drive it with something like the new Virtue Audio tripath or something similar.
I need a speaker less than 12" tall and something that will work not on a stand (for now) and would love something made by a person not in a large factory in Asia.
