Vanatoo Transparent One Speakers Sweepstakes
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!

I could REALLY use some desk speakers. Work is killing me.
would dig them mightily
Looks good!
/Insert interesting point of made-up argument
Any counter points?
please.
Definitely could make use of these.
Hope to try these soon ... with a glass of wine :)
Count me in.
Would love to have a nice pair of desktop speakers!
I have the B&W MM-1s at home and miss not having a subwoofer out. If I win this, it will likely replace the MM-1s.
Hope I win!
These would sound, and look, great next to my iMac...
These look great! Good luck everyone.
who would love these forever. I'd take them for myself, but plans to travel the world don't gel well with owning speaker. :)
don't feel like reading the complete rules so if the Sweepstakes are not international skip my comment. However if I win I see a problem with power because in my country (Bulgaria) the power rating is 230v....
If you win you can buy a step down transformer that is not expensive and drop the 230 V down to 120 volts very simply. its just a simple autotransformer with a 2:1 ratio. so.. if you win its not a big problem
I was hoping for an European version

The Vanatoos, a glass of wine and some good tunes; what more can you ask for?
One hopes so!
My room is sadly lacking in speakers at the moment
I feel a winner.
And send it. I'll give it a good home.
nede speakers.
Sure, I could use some speakers.
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.
Transparent? I hope to see them for real...
I want them now.
insane

I could definitely use a pair of desk speakers! It's tough trying to listen to music at night on my normal rig, too loud. These would be perfect.
Let me know when I have to send my mailing address.

Good luck everyone!
These could be a lot of fun...
I have been lurking until now. This is just too good an offer! Oh please let me win this.
Never heard of Vanatoo,understandable as my (lack of) knowledge on speakers.
Looks Pro as hell though!:D
Sweet, thanks for the chance!
Thanks for running the contest!
Fingers crossed.
Those look really cool. I wouldn't mind having a pair. :)
Hooray!!
So, please...
Well thought out. If the sound is equally good, appears to be a winner.
...count me in....
They'd go well with my Oppo HA-1 on my desktop...
Thanks for the sweepstakes!
Just once it would be nice to win
Yes, please.
Any comment will do.
These would be perfect for my son's room
Would like a pair.
I would love to win. I've never won anything from something like this.

Really think that I should get the speakers!
These would be awesome!
Exactly what I was looking for!

Woooot!
Peace .n. Living in Stereo

Good luck everyone!
I would love some nearfield monitors!
I haven't been able to makeup my mind about new PC speakers... AudioEngine? Emotiva? Now Vanatoo! Winning would certainly help make the decision for me!
Would be a perfect addition to my setup!
I want them anyway ;)
Rolling the dice.
I can't wait!
Such weird timing... I have been reading reviews of desktop-oriented, powered speakers for a few weeks. These, as well as Adam Audio, had really caught my eye.
Thanks! Hope i win!
how do they compare to audioengine a2, i wonder!
Sign me up.
Count me in :)

Thanks for all that you do, Tyll and company. :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
But I could really use these for my desk! Good luck everyone!
I've been yearning for new speakers.
I have a pair of M-Audio AV-40s run through an fiio e17 dac out from my MacBook pro on which all my CDs are burned onto ALAC files, I would be curious to hear if these sound better. I use this desktop rig in my home office to play along with tunes on my guitar and amp.
Hook me up, Tyll.
Here is hoping.
Thanks for the promotion!
I promise to use these to annoy my room mate. :)
Yes Please
let me get some speakers!
Sweeet!!
Love Speakers!!!!!
Would love to get a nice pair of speakers for my setup! Can't always wear headphones you know.
Interesting, they have direct inputs for Optical and Coax Digital, so built in Dac, looks like a good and simple do all solution.
jrussell
I'd sure like to win these!
This my entry :)
I need to hear these speakers. Thanks
Hopefully the built in DAC is decent but it does look like it has everything.
I too would like to get some free speakers. These look great!
Want. Ticks all my boxes!
Those look awesome!
Looking forward to winning ;-)
I'd love to have a pair.
Please!
I had been considering adding some speakers (although at least a year or two away, for budgeting reasons) of this size to one or two rooms in my apartment. While catching up on headphone-related news after several months away from the audio addiction, these gems showed up on InnerFidelity!! Good luck to all! I do wonder if they would integrate with my Pioneer FS52's. It would be ironic for the surrounds to be more than 3x as expensive as the fronts, lol.
I could really use a pair of powered speakers!
Would love to win some speakers.
Gratz to whoever wins these babies!
They would look good on my desk.
I heard these at last year's RMAF, and was impressed enough to mention them in my YouTube RMAF review. Would love to have a set.

I have lusted for a pair for quite a while, maybe me.
Pick me, please!
Could definitely use some powered speakers in my collection!
Who do that Vanatoo that you do so well?
yes, please enter my name for the sweepstakes. Have I mentioned this is the finest audiophile site on the planet?
I could use me some desktop speakers!
Commenting for the speakers. Hope I win.
I've heard such good things about these, now I want to actually hear them!
They look nice, count me in.
