About the 1B
The Vandersteen 1B loudspeaker is a 2-way, 2-driver, floorstanding system using an 8-inch filled polycone woofer and a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter in a slot-loaded reflex enclosure. It crosses over at 2.8kHz with first-order (6dB/octave) slopes, has a frequency response of 38Hz–20kHz, impedance of 6.8Ω, and sensitivity of 90dB (1W/1m). Recommended amplifier power is 20–100W per channel. The cabinet measures approximately 32" H × 12" W × 10" D and weighs about 45 lb, using a dense wood product construction under the cloth sock to control resonances. Known for its accurate imaging, smooth highs, and surprisingly extended, tight bass for its size and price, the 1B is widely regarded as a natural, non-fatiguing loudspeaker for home hi-fi listening when used on the matching Vandersteen stands.
