Vanatoo Transparent One Encore

I personally wish it would have just regular old RCA's I would love if it had a phono stage too because if I had a phono stage and then another analog...

Vanatoo Transparent One Encore for under $1000. They really are the creme of the crop for desktop/bookshelf speakers at their respective price points. They come with a 5 year warranty. Are highly configurable and very flexible.

For around $500 I would say you can’t do much better than the Vanatoo Transparent One Encore. No need for other equipment. They have every input imaginable. Fluance Ai60 is another option, slightly cheaper, great speaker.

i recently upgraded from the classic klipsch promedia 2.1s to **vanatoo transparent one encores**. i expected to like these things -- i mean they're expensive -- but aw crikey. i don't want to be hyperbolic, but... damn.

The Walnut finish was very nice looking, but the sound was lacking and they are physically HUGE on my desk while not offering any larger, deeper, etc soundstage in this desk setup scenario (nearfield listening). They sounded a bit flat and boring to me. Definitely needs a sub, which pretty much means the smaller YU4 (or YU2) + sub would have been better money spent. Even in a living room setup and turned up, I wasn't impressed- better, but not great.
