One Pair of Vandersteen Model 1C Stereo speakers with Heavy duty OEM base stands. The sound stage from these speakers is borderline magical. I have uploaded an audio/video clip to my private YouTube channel so feel free to send me message me with your email address and Ill share the link with you. I cant make it public due to copyright issues. please keep in mind that it was recorded on a cell phone mic so there are inherent audio quality limitations but i think youll get the sense of how great they are. Specifications: Tweeter: 1? critically damped, dual chamber, metal alloy dome Ferrofluid voice coil cooling Woofer: 8? die-cast basket with curvilinear polycon 1 1/2? two-layer voice coil with ventilated aluminum former 40 oz. focus gap magnet structure Impedance: 6.8 ohms 2 ohms Efficiency: 90dB with 2.83 volts of pink noise input at 1 meter on axis. Recommended Amplification: 20 to 100 watts per channel Frequency Response: 38Hz to 22,500Hz +or-3dB Dispersion: 38Hz to 15,800Hz 3dB at 30 degrees off axis Crossover Frequency: 2800Hz, 6dB per octave Dimensions: 36? high, 12? wide, 10? deep 44# net, 51# gross, each Description: Vandersteen’s core beliefs are time and phase alignment and open baffles for midrange and treble drivers. Time and phase aligned loudspeakers are difficult to implement effectively, and are therefore rare among dynamic loudspeakers. Since the 1C is a 2-way, only its tweeter is mounted open baffle. Phase alignment is provided by using strictly first order crossovers. Impedance compensation is also used, making the 1C a stable and easy load for the amplifier: the specification lists a 6.8 ohm nominal that only varies +/-2 ohms. Because it is also efficient at a quoted 90 dB, the 1C is very tube-friendly, probably including even output-transformerless (OTL) designs. Time alignment is provided by slanting the baffle. Time alignment is achieved when the sound wave lobes from the two drivers coalesce at a specific vertical point in space in front of the speakers, contingent on the amount of slant and distance the listener is from the plane of the speakers. This means that the distance the listener is from the speakers and the listener’s ear height must be accounted for. While this sounds complicated, it really isn’t. The 1C owner’s manual is very good and provides concise directions for obtaining time alignment based on the listener’s ear height and distance from the plane of the speakers.

Vandersteen Model 1 Speakers in PRISTINE condition. THESE ARE ORIGINAL MODEL 1’s (no letter after serial numbers). To find an original pair in virtually unused condition is super rare! These Were removed from sealed original boxes by a moving company that was hired to discard all items from an estate. Yes, they were meant to be thrown out. The movers were intrigued by the sealed Vandersteen speaker boxes…weren’t sure what they were. So they opened them up and decided not to discard the speakers (brilliant decision…duh). Unfortunately, they tossed the boxes (not brilliant). I was offered the chance to buy them and obviously did. The speakers were never used until I bought banana plugs to test them. They work and sound amazing! There is hardly a mark on these…maybe a stray mark here and there, but essentially OUTSTANDING 98% condition! Even the grill fabric is near flawless. Will toss in the banana plugs that I purchased to hook these up. Will ship in two boxes! These speakers are quite heavy and will require extensive shipping materials. Hence the ship cost as shown.
