Vanguard Scout - Pair

The Vanguard Scouts are exceeding every expectation I had about sound quality. Paired with the Caldera 10 sub, I have never been happier about an audio purchase! I would recommend Vera-Fi Audio to absolutely anyone and everyone!

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.

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.

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.

Don’t notice much of a difference from my SonySS5 speakers
