Hello acap005,

I have not heard the Vandersteen 1C. But the M60ti is very close to the Vandersteen 2C, which I have heard and I've always liked. Since the 1C is a 2-way system, I suspect that the M60ti, because it's a well-designed 3-way system, would have somewhat greater midrange clarity and detail, like the 2C, which is also a good 3-way.

Regards,
