I've been a fan of Vandersteen speakers for many years. I've recommended them
to several friends of mine. IMHO, they are well designed by a company with a
lengthy track record, and their use of both time aligned speakers and
relatively cabinet-free construction are features that I favor when considering
speakers.

I can't comment on the other components because I have not directly audtioned
them.

Of course, the important thing is not what anybody else thinks about your
system, but what *you* think of it. If if gives you pleasure, both musically
and emotionally, this is all that is necessary in my view.

Now playing: Ry Cooder - Chicken Skin Music.

Up next - B.B. King - Live at the Apollo.

I love it! But I'm thinking about getting a pair of Vandersteen 2C's....
will the 30 watt/channel Luxman power them?

The answer to this question depends on consideration of several main
variables: (1) the volume at which you normally listen to music, (2) the
sensitivity of the speakers, and (3) the size of your listening room. Other
factors you may also want to consider include the distance from the speakers at
which you sit, and also the output of your source devices, whether they be a CD
player, turntable/arm/cartridge combination or some other devices.

Because of all the factors involved, the ideal way to answer your quetion would
be to audition the speakers you're considering with your amplifier prior to
purchase.

If that is not possible, you should consider getting in touch with Vandersteen
directly to help answer some of your questions.

A friend of mine bought a pair of Vandersteen 2C's, upon my recommendation,
through eBay from a local seller. Being totally unfamiliar with their
products, he called Vandersteen to get some information and ended up speaking
to Richard Vandersteen, himself, who apparently spent considerable time talking
to my friend and answering his questions. To my way of thinking, that's the
sign of a company that cares about its customers.

The Vandersteen website is also fairly informative IMHO.

I listen to my music moderately loud, even though its usually jazz. I never
need to turn my amplifier's volume up past the half-way point, really, and
it's a 30 watts/channel Luxman LX33 tube amp. I'm in the living room of a
small apartment, with hardwood floors. I generally sit about 10 feet away
from the speakers. I understand the 2C's benefit from biwiring. What is
that? Can I do that with a conventional amp? This amp only has two pairs of
inputs for speaker wire.
