Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #55 of 87 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - Vandersteen VLR Wood: $2,060/pair eBay
Pros: A current US-made compact speaker with a coaxial driver for consistent geometry and multiple real-wood finishes. Its local Spinorama snapshot climbs from 1.67 to 4.74 with a subwoofer, and the 8-ohm nominal, 5-ohm minimum load is amplifier-friendly.
Cons: The 74Hz measured extension, 86dB specified sensitivity and low raw preference score make a subwoofer and EQ important. First-order crossover behavior produces response/directivity compromises, and the price is high relative to the measured neutrality and output.

Large Size Floorstanding Speakers
Ranked #56 of 71 in Large Size Floorstanding Speakers - Vandersteen Treo CT: $11,090/pair Audio Connection eBay
Pros: A time-aligned four-driver floorstander with carbon tweeter, first-order crossovers and exceptional measured bass reach. Erin’s data predicts 27Hz in-room extension, a 4.28 standalone preference score, smooth 0.106 sound power and a 5.51 score with a subwoofer.
Cons: At over $11,000 per pair, 80 lb each and only 85dB sensitivity, it is costly and amplifier-demanding. The response rises about +0.62dB per octave, horizontal coverage narrows to roughly +/-40 degrees, and on-axis smoothness is only 0.170.
