I wish to upgrade my Vandersteen VCC1. I have coveted the VCC5 for years, but for the price of admission I would have gone that direction. Fortunately I didn’t, given Amirm’s recent review, for which I am exceptionally grateful...as several times I have just almost taken the plunge.
So back to reality. My system is all Vandersteen. 2ce fronts, 1b’s for rears (right after they switched to butyl surrounds...phew!) with the Vandersteen home theater sub (with passive radiator)...and a DIY Rythmik 15” downfiring sub, because well...I love watching the furniture vibrate around the room while watching movies where things blow up. I’m pretty pleased with my set up...except for the VCC1. The VCC2 won’t work because it’s designed and tuned for wall mounting. My set up also require the center channel be above the TV. Not great, I know...but it is what it is.
My question is this. What center channel speaker might be an appropriate replacement in an all Vandy system? Given that I have Anthem ARC, is the concept of matching “sonic signature” really all that important?
Looking into the best option in a three way speaker at sub $1000. Am a retired carpenter/furniture/ cabinet builder...so any recommended DIY’s would be excellent options!
Thanks!
