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!

One way to get decent sound for modest bucks. Powered speakers dispense with the cost of those fancy amp chassis that everybody charges a fortune for. Great Job!

I may still be living in the 19th Century, but I'd still like to win these.

partain's picture

Gimme !

krahbeknudsen's picture

Nice device!

dbchetkin's picture

I would really like to check these out for my home studio recordings and then connect them to my Audio Research preamp and Linn turntable. Could be the ultimate solution and all that one will ever need.
Speaker shopping is a pain.
You have to purchase them and listen to them on your own system, burning them in for a sufficient amount of time before the return policy runs out. I am currently unemployed and have plenty of time to burn them in. Send these my way. I will give them a workout.
