Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?


Hi,

There is no dealer in San Francisco Bay Area who carries Vandersteen 7.  I want to listen to them before i consider and upgrade and wondering if there is anyone in my area who can help me.  I own 5A Carbons and thinking of upgrading.

CT, did you get out to Audioconnection? Also, what speaker cables are you going to use with the Quatro's?

Jetter, I am the guy who bought ctsooner's Treo's, I kind of kick myself for not realizing that the Treo and Quatro share the same footprint. I probably would have gone with the Quatro's and eliminated the 2w subs. Anyhoo, it's done.
Since I visited ctsooner to pick up the Treo's, I think the 5a carbons would be a bit overwhelming for his space, though he might disagree with me.
One of the reasons I sold my 3a sigs was because they were so physically large.- Though I found the sound to be sublime.

CT, from what I heard from Pat at McCormack, the Western states seem to have more problems with voltage fluctuations than we do on the East coast.
How much longer till you get your speakers and amp back?

@lxgreen , I bought ctsooner's Treo's and own a pair of 2w subs and am very happy with the result. Johnny R. at audioconnection said using the external subs gets you pretty close to the Vandy 5's. So, I think if you did go with Treo's, you would do pretty well.
As ctsooner pointed out, having a sub array would be plenty sweet. Though, the nice thing about Quatro's would be that you really don't need the external subs.-Especially if your listening room is like mine, too cluttered and with limited space to move things around.
