Vandersteen VLR CT Compact Bookshelf with Carbon Tweeter

A small speaker that can. Featuring the same technology tweeter as in the top of the line system NINE at 2% of the price.

Accurately reproducing the signal from the amplifier requires preserving all of the delicate time-domain relationships that comprise music. Because there isn't enough physical real estate to time align such a compact speaker, making a time- and phase-coherent speaker in such  a small box requires the use of coaxially-mounted drivers like the woofer/tweeter used here. This custom built driver features the carbon tweeter technology only found on Vandersteens finest products.  The result is all the coherence and dimensional purity one expects from a classic Vandersteen in a gorgeous and versatile little speaker.

Please note the "Standard" Finish for this speaker is "Walnut". Please read full description below carefully:

Standard wood finishes are no additional charge. Speaker finishes, except for Walnut, vary in availability practically daily. Please contact Sound Reference Melbourne, who will work with Vandersteen Audio to determine up-to-the-minute market availability on your desired wood finish and provide an accurate ETA quote.

Vandersteen Audio has done its best to photograph these wood finishes on each product page and in each sample, but please know that while the woods we receive from our vendors are unfailingly high in quality, no two pieces of wood are ever exactly alike. This is dictated by nature. We promise that your speakers will look gorgeous, but not that they will precisely match the photos you see on our website or on our dealers’ in-store demo speakers.

Choosing a non standard finish might result in an extended wait time before delivery - for more information contact us on 03 9495 6500
