In For Review: Vanatoo Transparent One Active monitors

[8bitg33k]

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I wanted to see if I could get some input.

I am looking to get a pair of self-powered speakers and am trying to choose between the Paradigm Shift A2, Emotiva Airmotiv 5 and Vanatoo Transparent One.

Since some of you seem familiar with all 3 systems, can you give me a quick rundown comparison between the three, or even which one system you prefer over the others?

I am planning to hook these up to my TV so I don't really need a built in DAC but the Vanatoos got my attention because they have gotten so many positive reviews.

Hi There: below see both my reviews. I have not heard the emotiva. BTW, you may not need a digital input now, but you never know what source
components you will have in the future. All new TVs are equipped with digital outputs these days.

Andre Marc.. your review helped me move past Paradigm to Vanatoo, but how would you compare/rate Audioengine HD6 to Vanatoo T1? Much appreciated!
