Not as fast as amazon Prime. But they are worth the wait.

The sound is like warm maple syrup ...Clear and tasty. I am no expert, but I do know what I like. Cannot be matched by speakers costing way way more. The reviews I read do not lie,

These beauties punch way way higher than the price point. Awesome!

These speakers really surprised me. I bought a pair with the Vera-Link for a second system for the open living room /dining room area. They initially sounded ok but not great. After talking toMark, I ran them for a good 50 hours and indeed they opened up and impressed me with their musicality. I was surprised with how big they sounded. This combo threw an impressive sound stage with exciting dynamics and musical instrumental timbres when playing Prokofiev’s 5th symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas and the LSO. To be honest I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. No matter what I played, they were always a joy to listen to. As the weeks have gone by they have continued to open up even more especially in the bass region. These speakers are well balanced. No need to worry about ear piercing highs or exaggerate bass. Bottom line is these speakers and amp are a pleasure to listen to and a down right bargain. Thank you Mark for bringing these excellent speakers to market.

The plastic on the grill could be better, broke 1 tap when I took the grill off

Nothing at this time

I have tried many brands of footers, some of which made a subtle difference, many of which made no difference at all. The VBH are, hands-down, the best footers available anywhere. Used under my tube amps, I now have an absolutely black background, and using them under my Lampizator DAC has brought it to a new level of naturalness. I couldn't be happier, and dealing with Mark is always an immense pleasure!

I bought these because I have been in love with Rosewood veneer since I first saw it as an extra cost option for some $5000 speakers in the '90s. Never expected to be able to afford a pair of Rosewood veneered speakers, but then found these for under $300. I pulled the trigger, ASAP.

When they arrived, I gave them >50 hours of 85dB in room playback of the radio with them facing each other under a comforter and wired out of phase to damp down the noise. After this, I gave them a listen. Beautiful, and they sound spectacular for their price point. I felt like I won the lottery; a scratcher, not the PowerBall, but still :) I was used to a bookshelf pair w/ lite mid-bass response and slightly "crisp" highs, and these (in direct comparison) had excellent mid-bass response and are just a bit laid-back in the very highest registers to my ears. I use them with a 500-watt RMS ported 12" subwoofer crossed over at 100Hz and get good output from them with an 80-watt per channel RMS amp. Like easy, no strain, >90dB at the listening position 12' away kind of "good output". For movies, tv, and music. Plenty for me.

If you like beautiful speakers, good sound (though not detail monsters like the AMT-tweeter based speakers I have in the bedroom), and spectacular value don't be afraid to pull the trigger on these Vanguard Scouts. Just please don't expect "giant killing" sound quality for under $300, and I promise you'll be happy with your purchase.

I have had some excellent subwoofers in my time, and for music the Vanguard Caldera 12 is one of them. A small amount of the 'feel not hear it' bass is missing (when it is even present in the soundtrack) in some movies when compared to my current living room 500-watt RMS ported 12" sub (both compared when setup with Yamaha YPAO room correction at the same listening position in my bedroom). However that sub is 2.75 times the price of the Vanguard Caldera 12. That is a lot to pay for a small amount of bass not even present in all soundtracks. In music however, it is almost impossible to hear a difference in lowest frequency response. Plus, one is a black, cloth-covered tube that is ~40" tall, and the other is beautifully finished in real Rosewood veneer. Looks count, too in my book ;)

Awesome sub 10/10

Love them. Far, far better than my Bose soundbar.

Very responsive customer service, and love your products!

Outstanding speakers! Very happy!

I’ve never had good speakers to listen to music on, so this was a big leap for me. I bought the Vera link combo and the 10” caldera to go with them. Mark has answered every question of mine personally and he advised that I connect the vera-link to the high pass input and then out put with some cables to the speaker and it works like a charm! Even though I am listening to music through my bluetooth on my iPhone, it sounds absolutely amazing!!

I've been on the "audio merry-go-round" for 30+ years. Downsizing a bedroom system I replaced my $4k speakers with Veri-fi's Vanguard Scouts. I was impressed, they are heavy, substantial beautiful speakers. They pass the knuckle test and sound great right out of the box. Midrange sounds nice and smooth(right) and surprising bass out of these little 2-ways! These speakers are a great value!!! Thanks Mark!
