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!

JBryan's picture

Look at all the posts! I may disqualify myself as I already have a pr of T1's but my buddy and I heard them at the Capitol Audiofest and we literally looked around for a sub. These speaks do sound nice and the bass is amazing for their size. My brother-in-law was over the other week and we listened to them using a Logitech Transporter as the source and he was more than a little impressed (Beatles Mono and Pink Floyd selections in FLAC). In fact, he called later to get a link to the Vanatoo web site so I'll send him here.. free is always good!

Bix's picture

Seriously, yes please.

StonedBeatles1's picture

I'll use them on regulirly.

KHWOODIE's picture

Since practically all mobile devices today do not have a fixed line output, one must use the headphone output to connect to powered speakers, amp or preamp. Finding the optimum variable output setting by using the transmitting devices volume control is usually a matter of trail and error to find the right setting without damaging the powered speaker. What is one to do in the case of the Vanatoo Transparent One Speakers in using them with a device that only allows one to use the variable output (i.e. Headphone) to connect to the Vanatoo's. What is the analog input requirements for the Vanatoo's? If they only accept a fixed line input, what is one to do when they only have a variable output source and they do not want to damage the powered speaker?
