The baby of the Vandersteen line: The 1C. This is high end sound for for under $1K. Most speakers in this price range are frequency-limited mini-monitors, but this one is a full range incorporating an 8" woofer and a 1" metal dome tweeter in a time aligned configuration. I own a pair, and in my opinion, this speaker combined with a $399 NAD integrated, a $299 NAD CD player, and modestly priced cables makes one of the best under $2K high end systems available.
