Vanguard Caldera 10" Active Subwoofer

I previously had a sub woofer that had come from a home cinema setup. Whilst it gave me extra base it was 'boomy' and limited in it's range. The Caldera 10 is a different experience altogether. I'm hearing bass on some recordings that I didn't know was there and it has firmness that I'd not heard before. It's extremely good value and a great addition to my system.

I purchased three Caldera 10's to go with my three pairs of Scouts. I love them, so I purchased 4 more to get small rooms 2.1 & large rooms a 2.2. I love speaker systems but I haven't had a good set up for years. I looked into this for months. I didn't know what my sound system was missing till I got the lower end filled in.

I had my eyes on a Caldera 10 subwoofer for quite a while before I decided to take the plunge, but I'm really glad that I did. I initially had reservations for how low the price was for what it claimed it could do, but eventually a sale came along that was a little too good to resist and I purchased it for $149.

I imagine myself and quite a few other people ended up ordering around this time and it took some time before my order was fulfilled. Additionally, there were significant delays in shipments due in part to ongoing changes to US import policies, but Vera-Fi diligently kept me updated throughout the process, even responding to my emails I sent with questions. In hindsight, I am glad I was patient and waited to receive mine.

Though it took some time, in the end, I received a cute little compact subwoofer to pair with my budget living room setup and have been very pleased with how musical and quick it is, as well as how much it filled out and enriched the music for a pair of smaller bookshelf speakers. I don't think there is a better budget sub for a 2.1 stereo setup for this price. The Caldera 10 is a product that knows what it is and does it damn well.

Highly Recommended.

Excellent, tight, fast and very muscular. Punches above it’s price point. Paired with Scout’s

Solid performer. Plays well with my Elac Unifi speakers.

Good value. Pleasure to do business with.

I'm really enjoying this dual sub set-up. Using these in a two channel stereo system, replacing a single 12" sub (which was stashed in the corner). My mains are the KEF LS50 meta's, and they work well with the Caldera 10's. Still fine tuning the crossover freq & volume balance, but I'm prone to tweaking things just for the fun of it.
The Caldera 10's arrived in fine fashion, and were easy to set up. They look great and sound even better.

A solid little sub for the price. Its compact size makes it easy to place multiples in a room to help manage standing waves. The "auto-on" feature is practically useless—at low listening levels the sub won’t engage, and when you raise the volume it starts switching on and off in time with the music until it’s loud enough. I just leave it on all the time, which isn’t a big deal since the small amp only draws about 3 watts at idle. The inclusion of high-level inputs is a nice bonus at this price point, and the crossover slope is steep enough to blend seamlessly.

Absolutely clean and powerful little unit.

Caldera 10 Duo paired with Magnat monitor supreme. They blend well, have great audio quality, nice looking & hefty build. My system sounds beautiful. I have the calderas set just over 1/4 volume and the bass is vibrating the gutters on my house.
I guess I happened to order as everyone else realized the bang for your buck deal Vera-fi is offering here. I had to try and be patient and wait for the backorder to be fulfilled. As I waited I recieved excellent communication from Mark and his crew.
I wouldnt hesitate to refer a friend.
Im super happy 🤘😁🤘
Thanks Vera-fi !!!
