I heard the Wood Quatros being driven by the Quicksilver V4 at Audio Connection, but I much preferred the Aesthetix Atlas that Johnny used to drive the Vandy 5A's. Two very different sounds and I'm sure you'll prefer one over the other. You can also embed the high pass filters inside the Atlas. Give Johnny R. a call to arrange a demo if you are on the East coast.
Amp for Vandersteen Wood Quatros
I am planning to purchase a pair of Vandersteen Wood Quatros so that I can once again listen properly to large scale music in my best listening room. I am hoping to get advice/recommendations for amplification. System components - Analog via an Ayre-DPS turntable and Kenwood L-01T FM tuner, digital via a McIntosh MCD500 SACD player, Shindo Masseto preamp, Auditorium 23 ICs, Crystal Cable speaker cable, and Shunyata power conditioning. The room is 14' wide by 27.5' long with an 8' ceiling. The speakers will be positioned on the short wall, and the likely speaker front plane to listening position distance will be 10 to 11 feet. Many thanks in advance for your guidance.
