Vandersteen model one

[Vandersteen owner]

Hello I just purchased a pair of original Vandersteen model ones. They sound great. I was just wondering if the woofers have foam surrounds or rubber surrounds. Thank you Regards Tom

you can sometimes shine a bright flashlight in and see. There are also instructions the main website for cloth sock replacement, you might partially remove to check. The 1’s are a great speaker 😉 Still in production as the model 1Ci, enjoy the music

and the model 1 has been further improved to the 1Ci + version now.

Stop ^here^ Tom.
(if they were chewed up by ants, or gnomes, or gremlins, then they would not sound great.)

Just hook up the gear and put them to work 🤠

 But I get it… A while ago I was playing a song and the sound jumped to the left speaker. I know something was wrong.
Put ear buds in, and it was the recording, but I was worried for a while.

Richard answered this on another thread.  I love learning about the history of the original 20 years of the speakers.
