i got the ctc-20 as part of a patchwork system i am putting together for my sister. i have the VP150, so when comparing it to that, it was no contest.. the 150 just blew it out of the water. but, my sister has a smaller room, so she is needing something smaller anyway. but, my impressions of the ctc-20 were average. it sounds good, but has a limited sound stage. and seemed, the best way to put it would be airy, like it didnt put snap on the voices and such. it wasnt horrible, but its hard when its competing against the 150, which is what i am used to. my other complaint is that you cant take the grills off..
overall, i think if you can get it at a good price(i did), and you have a small room, then go for it. if you have a room bigger than 175sq ft, then i would say the ctc-20 might disappoint..
just my opinion..
