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...

I personally despise Audioengine speakers. I think they look nice but produce a bloated mid-bass I couldn't handle.

I love and totally recommend my Vanatoo Transparent Zeros.

I’m using these in a nearfield desktop setup. Connected via Modi 3 + Liquid Spark. I previously used Def Tech Pro Monitor 1000s and Fluance Ai60s. I’d say the def techs were my favorite all around. Sounded well at low volumes, clear and defined, lively sound signature. The Ai60s were ok - the bass w...

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.

The good:

Clear, crisp sound, can get very loud. I like the design. Its nice that the grates have magnets to snap on front. I also like that it connects using bluetooth and love all the input options. Also having a remote is useful. The cable is quite long which can be good if people need more lengt...

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 was very excited to receive these speakers. I opened them up and gave them a listen and to be honest I expected more. These speakers have enough bells and whistles to play around with and I love that, you can even choose between two sound modes. The bass was very present and it loved to rumble the...

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.

Sound is not as good as I had hoped. They seem to only sound good when I am sitting one foot in front of them even though they are in a small room

I placed them on a 5 foot wide workbench that has a shelf attached to it on uprights the speakers are placed on the shelf sitting on foam speaker pads w...

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.
