Vanatoo Transparent One Speakers Sweepstakes

Register to win a pair of Vanatoo Transparent One Speakers (MSRP $499.00) we are giving away.

According to the company:

The Vanatoo Transparent One powered speakers set a new price/performance benchmark in the audiophile world. They produce unexpectedly great sound quality (honest, tight bass down to 48Hz!) from small bookshelf speakers that give you a lot of flexibility in how you use them. They are equally at home as a desktop audio system, a music streaming solution for a room where you want music but not stacks of equipment, or as a compact system you take with you on your weekend getaways.

Just the Facts: 48-20,000Hz +/- 3dB response at 90dB+ over listening window; 5 ¼ inch aluminum cone XBL woofer; 1 inch silk dome tweeter; 5 ¼ inch long-throw passive radiator; 60 watt/channel D2Audio amplifier with integrated DSP; Built in DAC with USB, coax, and optical inputs; Analog input; Volume, bass, and treble controls; Subwoofer output with auto-sensing (removes bass from Transparent One); 3 year warranty; Supported by the people who designed it and know it best!

Gee, just by being registered I'm automatically entered. Great!

Let's check the fine print -- nope; non US residents need not apply. Again.

Are these shielded to avoid interference with use of a television?

In the market for some new speakers - these would fit the bill nicely.

Do you offer express shipping

Marcin Trefnale's picture

Hi,

I've been enjoying reading analog planet daily for over a year now since I converted to an analog sound. I'm actually surprised it took this long and a chance for a pair of speakers to set up an account here.

What else do I use the account for?

Regards,
M

I heard nice sound coming from a room packed with lots of people... as I made my way to a visible spot I was shocked that all that sound was coming from such small speakers. Pretty darn stunning! I'd lover to have a pair.

OldschoolE's picture

I heard these a couple of years ago and was amazed at how they sound. I'd love to win a pair, but I never win anything. Maybe someday, but I can't hold my breath that long.

Mikey for the nice giveaway. I am envious of you to have been able to make a profession in the audio field and live the dream 24 hrs of the day while I struggle sometimes to work it in at all. And while I like the paper version of Stereophile I appreciate your company having so much avalible content on the internet for free. Thanks again
