If I remember correctly, I believe Vandersteen recommends that the 2c's be placed at least 20" from the back wall and 32" from the side wall (measured from the center of the the speaker) and that they receive at least 40 watts of amplification, so you might be set on both accounts, though it certainly would be a good idea to double check before you made a final decision. When I got my 2c's I ran them for a bit with my old 50wpc ss integrated just for fun and everything was fine though they clearly prefer my current 100 wpc amp.
Vandies a good fit ?
Upgrade time for my speakers. Heard Vandersteen 2CE Signatures and liked the sound, but I can see 2 possible problems.
1. I only have 26 inches from the rear wall. So the 10 inch thick Vandersteen's will have 16 inches of air behind them.
2. My amp is a 45 watt tube CJ MV-52. Passive preamp. CD player and tube tuner. I listen to classical and jazz at low to moderate levels.
Will the Vandies work?
