Description

The result is from couple of months of research and a lot of transactions. I listen to music 80 percent of the time and only 20 percent for movies.

It is my main source of relaxation after a long day of work or a long weekend. Classical music takes me off my feet and onto a cloud high above. The 80's music brings back the memories back from the good old days. And vocal music takes me to my personal concert and in my own living room.

Vandersteen speakers are my biggest surprise. It is very affordable but very capable of delivering very accurate sound, the music that was intended to sound. It costs the least in the system but it gives me the most satisfaction. For classical music, it delivers a full range of sound from top to bottom. For vocal, it delivers very accurate but warm voice. I can listen to vocal music for a long time without being tired at all. That means is that I can be in a utopia state for a longer period of time. I have not explode newer models but I could imagine how much better they are compare to the 2Ci.
