If you are looking for the best of the lower end of the top top top of the line speakers look no further these are for you. Great sound and great value.

Articulate mids and highs, strong bass that is tight but not too tight. Bi-amplifiable, bi-wirable, and price.

Video mode (drivers in rear) are useless and I never engage that mode. I'd rather see an extra 6.5 inch mid-bass driver in front. Heavy, large, imaging could(?) be a bit better. Broke a speaker binding post, internal wiring cheap. No video shielding on side woofer's and distorts picture on 50" Mitsubishi rear projection tv when too close. Not real hip on the black piano high gloss finish.

There are no doubt better speakers out there, but one simply cannot beat the bang for the buck. The VT2.4's appear to be very transparent/revealing, dynamic, etc.. They definitely require at least 100 wpc of quality amplification. Tracy Chapman's (a flaming liberal, ugh) 10 year old cd is a first rate recording with lots of dynamic ranges, extreme low's, etc..

I am only driving two channel stereo mode with a sub-woofer and have yet to hear better sound even in extremely high-end stores. I know better sound exists but I just haven't heard it yet as room accoustics also has everything to do with it.

Equipment:
o Denon AVR-5700 receiver (pre-amp out only)
o Toshiba D5109 DVD player
o ATI 2505 amplifer bi-amped to the vt2.4's
o Triad Platinum Subwoofer (highly recommend)
o NHT 2.4's
o AudioQuest interconnects/Kimber Cable speaker wire.

I was very surprised to discover that the sound is almost identical when simply using the Denon receiver for the applification (bi-wired) in place of the ATI2505 250wpc amp.

Infinity Overture II's (not bad really). Aerial Accoustic CC3's (2 center channels build quality first rate) but expensive and of course both lack low and mid-bass.
