The VT 1.2s are a neat speaker, they have a switch on the front that engages a rear facing midrange and tweeter, for a dipole effect, intended for video purposes. The side firing sub extends deep as well, making tham great stand alone speakers.
I am an installer for a small home theater firm, and we installed a few sets of these years ago, and the customers were very happy with them. I would say if the price is reasonable, they would be a good buy. How much are they asking?

Good luck.
