I have heard most of the Vandersteen speakers at both dealers and at shows and wasn’t that impressed. The Quatro’s, 5’s and 7’s sound very good but not for the money when comparing to other speakers. I’ve met Richard at a private dealer showing and he demoed a few pairs of his speakers up to the 5’s so they were setup properly and used quality components.
I’ve also listened to all the higher end Maggie’s including the 30.7’s at 1 of the tour stops, at friends houses with the 20.7’s and 3.x’s and wasn’t impressed. The best Maggie I have heard was the 20.1 at a dealer friend of mine, it could have been because of the Mcintosh source equipment.
I prefer the Revel’s, Ushers, Wilson’s, Raidho, Totem, Magico and a few others.
