Love them. Far, far better than my Bose soundbar.
Outstanding speakers! Very happy!
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!
These speakers are built well and beautiful. They sound great, although I have to admit that Ihaven’t had much of a chance to listen to them a lot yet.
I wasn't having any problems but I wanted some passive speakers to pair with my vintage Pioneer SX-850. As we all know the listening experience is very subjective but I'm absolutely in love with these speakers! Beautifully clear sound and I'm hearing details from some of my old favorites I've never heard before! I live in a small home that is less than a 1000 square feet so my "listening room" is very constrained. These work under these conditions providing more than I'd hoped for. After several hours of use they seem to have only gotten better. My only suggestion is that I'd like to have some color options as an add-on for the speaker covers. They're beautifully made and veneered but I'd like to add a pop of color. I could always recover them myself but I think I'd definitely consider purchasing them for convenience. Specifically I'd like an orange, bright blue, red, and yellow option.
5 stars – Exceptional upgrade to my vintage setup!I recently added the Vanguard Scout HiFi Speakers to my rebooted vintage hi-fi system, and they're already proving to be a game-changer. The clarity and warmth they bring to my old-school turntable and amp are spot-on—rich mids and sparkling highs that make vinyl nights feel alive again. They integrate seamlessly, punching above their weight without overwhelming the room's retro vibe. That said, they did need a solid 20-30 hour break-in period to really open up. At first, the bass felt a tad tight, but now? They're sounding better with every listen—smooth, detailed, and immersive. If you're blending new tech with classic gear, these are a smart pick. Highly recommend!
Although i haven't reveived the units to review, i can share that my ecperience with the team was delightful! Rhey are a bunch of professional, friendly, aeasy to deal with individuals.They treated my transaction really personal. I'm really impressed the way they handled my queries. I salute these guys! Highly recommended.
Amazing crystal sounds for the minmum cost, use it for Streaming, Stereo and TV
Great speakers, right in my budget. I purchased one pair, broke them in, loved them, and then purchased 2 more pairs. I had the option of ceiling speakers but bookshelf sound so much better. The Scouts allowed me to get great sound and budget. I have them in several rooms now. 2.2 in the main rooms and 2.1 in the small rooms. When connecting a Caldera 10 it was suggested to put a HPF 70h on the Scouts. I haven’t been able to find a good low cost 70h, closest so far is 80h $25. I purchased (3) pairs of Scouts and (7) Caldera 10. So HPF is important to focus more on the mid and high’s. Really really like Vera-Fi Scouts and Caldera’s!!!
The Scouts are a phenomenal speaker.
Starting with the gorgeous real wood veneer and cinder block build to it's warm and encompassing sound. Easily compete with or surpass speakers costing twice their price. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of Scouts ASAP

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the Vanguard Scout Speakers?
The Vanguard Scout is a pair of high-quality 2-way loudspeakers designed to deliver exceptional sound quality at an affordable price. Despite the affordable price, the Vanguard Scout has a premium rare wood veneer cabinet, high quality drivers, and a premium crossover that uses high quality film capacitors, heavy copper inductors, and audio-grade resistors with a thick PCB that is comparable to speakers costing thousands of dollars. You won’t find cheap cement-filled white resistors that are ubiquitous on other budget speakers inside the Scout or any other Vera-Fi Audio speaker. The magic of a speaker comes largely from the crossover filter design and voicing of the speakers which has been designed using state of the art computer modeling and countless hours of test listening sessions.
What kind of amplifier do I need to drive the Vanguard Scout speakers?
The Vanguard Scout speakers are compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and was designed for 8 ohm impedance amplifiers, although amplifiers capable of driving lower impedance loads will work fine. Ensure your amplifier meets the recommended power requirements for optimal performance.
How should I position the Vanguard Scout speakers for the best sound?
Position them at ear level, forming an equilateral triangle with your listening position. Experiment with slight angling (toe-in) towards the listener for improved imaging.
Are the Vanguard Scout speakers suitable for small rooms?
Yes, their design allows them to perform well in various room sizes, including small to medium-sized rooms. We recommend at least 12 inches of distance from the rear of the cabinet to a back wall. However, if the speakers have to be placed inches from a back wall, you may find that the wall boundary reinforcement makes too much bass. In this case, some experimenting with using a microfiber cloth etc rolled up to plug the rear bass vent may produce a sound more balanced for such placements.
What kind of improvements can I expect in my audio system?
Experts and users have reported that the Vanguard Scout speakers offer remarkable affordability and competence, looking much better than nearly all of their same-price-tier competition.

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!!
Excellent built quality, a ported sub that sounds closer to sealed sub and for only 348 euros? Insane but true, the Caldera 12 will sound just as good in my room for music or home theater, i cant recommend this sub enough! Go dual for bombastic room filling low notes imo. The only gripe i have is the auto on off which turns the sub off after only 10 seconds, i would recommend at least 1+ minute of inactivity to turn off so lets hope they boys in the lab will sort this out on the next batches! Excellent job Vera Fi team!
"First, I'd like to thank **Mr. Ace**. He was a great help with the delivery.
The **SnubWay - Noise Defender** has enhanced the audio system. A new level of sophistication has been added to the system, which was previously a straightforward 'Main Stream' setup.
Firstly, I feel like the **soundstage is wider**.
And I feel like it has captured the **subtle vibrations and noise**.
Frankly, I had been briefly tempted by Chinese-made products due to their price advantage.
However, **vera-fi-audiollc** clearly demonstrated the **technical gap** between those products and this one.
Thank you."
This is my first Hi-fi set of speakers I have ever bought. Before this, I listened to BOSE speakers.
WOW.... what an upgrade these Vanguard scout speakers are!!
I had to wait a couple months to get my order (because of tariffs), but Mark and his team were really amazing at answering all of my questions and updating me with the progress of my order.
I ordered the Caldera 10 sub, vera-link amps, and the scouts and Mark helped me to understand how to plug the vera-links bluetooth amps into the subwoofer through the high-pass input and output through the high-pass directly to the right scout speaker and it works like a charm! I couldn't be happier!
You will see two pics in my review of the back of the right vanguard scout speaker, because I wanted to show you that if you have to peel the velcro off of your speaker and place it elsewhere, it doesn't leave any residue to clean up! It's not a huge deal, but it certainly made my life easier.
I am a fan for life and will be ordering some of the new things they are working on in the future!
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.
Great speakers, right in my budget. I purchased one pair, broke them in, loved them, and then purchased 2 more pairs. I had the option of ceiling speakers but bookshelf sound so much better. The Scouts allowed me to get great sound and budget. I have them in several rooms now. 2.2 in the main rooms and 2.1 in the small rooms.

Great product , great prices and good follow up when required.
Good price, looks great, well made -suits the scouts perfectly
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.
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 !!!
