The Vanguard Scout is a compact 2 way bass reflex speaker system with a 5.25in treated paper cone woofer and a 25mm silk dome tweeter in superbly crafted rosewood veneer cabinet with a satin finish. What makes the Scout special is the crossover and how it is voiced to provide a smooth presentation with pinpoint imaging and a wide soundstage. The crossover uses high quality custom inductors and film capacitors typically seen on speakers costing 10x the price.
The crossover is a unique asymmetric topology that produces crisp and accurate percussion. The bass extension is deep for its size with a 60Hz -6dB point. The silk dome tweeter provides resolving highs while maintaining a smooth sound that is low in distortion. The treated paper cone woofer has a natural and lively sound with a slightly warm midrange that’s perfect for vocals. The balance and voicing of the Vanguard Scout is optimized for non fatiguing listening pleasure with all genres of music.
- 8 Ohms nominal impedance
- 50w Power Handling

A few notes from Engineer Viet Nguyen -
Here is the measured harmonic distortion spectrum for orders up to 9th harmonic and THD for 2.0Vrms at 0.5m. Distortion is very low and does not have anomalous resonances. There is a 670Hz bump that might be a woofer basket resonance, but it is quite low. Nominal distortion at 1khz is about 0.19%
Here are some measurements of the Vanguard Scout speaker response showing the crossover response curves. Crossover is my own asymmetric slope design employing 2 inductors, 2 capacitors, and 2 resistors. Crossover frequency is at 1700Hz with both drivers having absolute positive polarity for nice transients and percussion realism. Blue is predicted system response and orange is actual measurement overlay:
