About the 1C
The Vandersteen 1C is a two-way speaker system that provides a unique listening experience with its transmission-line design. It includes a 1-inch dual-chamber metal-dome tweeter and an 8-inch mineral-filled polycone woofer. The speaker's enclosure is designed to reduce cabinet resonances and early reflections, enhancing soundstage depth and imaging. The 1C is praised for its neutral sound quality and ability to deliver detailed instrumental nuances. It is recommended to pair the 1C with amplifiers delivering between 20 and 100 watts per channel.
