and a glass of redwine.
I'm in.
Yep, I could do with those.
I have been wanting these for awhile now.
If you'll send me the speaker I promise to buy a nice bottle of red wine
The sound of music ...
Would work real good with my new MacPro!
Can music ever have enough compression?
Hopefully they sound good as well.
I feel a winner.
Hope you pick me.
me please!
This will hook my college son into a lifetime of consuming ever-increasingly expensive audio equipment instead of taking vacations or buying his wife jewelry. hahaha.
Sweet replacement for my Audioengine 2's.
I would be happy if I won them
I can haz speaker?
I'm greedy enough to want these!
Count me in! :)
I'll post for that...
No one would read them
Stereophile...you're the coolest.
I would love this as a gift!

Sweet!

I'll take Vanatoo or three
I want them please
...I like the sound of that!
I could really use some new computer speakers.
Rocking speakers
Contest entry.
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.
iiiiii'll take it
I heard these at the New York Audio Show and they were really impressive for the size and price. Would work beautifully on a desk.
I would LOVE to have these speakers.
It could happen!
Thank you for the opportunity to win. :)
Look stunning!
Yes, please!
Have been coveting some nice desktops, this would do the trick!
Mine, mine, mine
Looks nice and small, perfect for many places around the house
Thanks!
Transparent One

Count me in!

I need some powered desktop speakers!
You can never have too many good speakers.
Need more speakers!
You can come to Maui and set them up for me.
It would be nice to compare to my old Audioengine 2s
high fidelity
noun
the reproduction of sound with little distortion, giving a result very similar to the original.
"high-fidelity speakers"
I bet these speakers fit the bill
Wrong side of the pond, come on just once guys ... how about something for us internationals
I'd like to win please!! :-D
I guess free stuff is fine
Excellent! ....
these would look great on my desk at school
Pretty please be me

I am in need of studio monitors!
I heard these at Newport and was very impressed with the sound on male vocals.
I currently don't have computer speakers and heard these at the Capitol Audiofest...amazing sounding speakers!

Better and better gets more and more affordable.
I Want them, please!
Powered speakers, love them! Curious to hear what Vanatoo brings to an interesting concept.
Maybe the tenth time is a charm. That's a handsome audio rig.
Who would not want a free pair of speakers? Will be fun to try them out.
Count me in. Thanks for the chance.
I'd love a pair of these, to replace my ageing Altec computer speakers.
Count me in! I'd love to win a pair.
These look good.
International enthusiasts are more than welcome to pay for subscriptions, and help out the magazine, but unfotunately are unable to participate in wonderful contests such as this... pity
Vanatoo makes an awesome product!
I'd love these. :)
Oh how I need these for my drab office....
The future is for digital amplifiers with DSP
on my mashed potatoes
hoping.
These speakers would be a welcome addition.
They sure look a lot better than my old Altec desktops!!
Nice glass of wine, next to some sort of speaker. Thank you
Looks like a cool product!
Give them to me. Please?
Yes, please!
Vana Me Too
Let's roll the dice!
This is want I want !
Don't have computer speakers and these look great
Looks interesting.
I'm in :)
So far so good. Semper Fi
be a good start for new system
Someone is going to be thankful for their ears when they win these!
Yay
Looks nice!
Just what I need!
I've been hearing good things about these speakers.
Gimme !
Nice device!
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.
Thanks!
Cheers and good luck to everyone!
feeling lucky...
Hope to find out how these sound!
I'm in as well
Thanks in advance !
Need these to go with my iMac :-D

bang for the buck there might be no better powered bookshelf. had to pack up my rotel avr and surround system. i really would love them so i can have decent tv and music audio again.
Obviously, I'd love a pair of these (they remind me of Genelecs at the studio) -- but good luck to everyone else, too!
Thank you!

I could really use these.
Would look (sound) great on my desk
