funny you should mention your closeness with richard vandersteen just now, this afternoon, i was goofing around in my listening room, i have a pair of maggies coming in soon, to try again, after all these years, so i shuffled my big spendors aside to prepare for their arrival, and just for giggles, i moved a set of vandy 3a sigs i have had in the back closet for many years now, into position for a listen, i already had the big pass labs integrated hooked up waiting for the maggies it is soooo nice to hear richard’s lovely, now legendary speakers, so open, musical, details present but not forward, lovely vast soundstage, voices tall and life-size, full warm bass (not the fastest, but deep and easeful) - the pass int150 is just a touch forward, but warm with incredible bass drive and grip, and the combo is just terrific these 3a-sigs are worth what, less than 2 grand a pair these days??? geez... lot's of aspiring hifi aficianadoes should back away from the newest hottest sexiest thing and just get a set of these... if i weren’t my crazy gear a holic self, i could easily live with these forever ... driven by the lovely pass... i am so happy i never sold these off anyways, sorry to ramble and threadjack for a just moment, thought i would share that with you and the rest... 🙏 |
perhaps @carlsbad ’s understanding is not incomplete, but i do agree with you that his description was... of course he was trying to keep it simple for our o-p the reactivity of speaker loads in real world use playing music at practical volumes (not test tones, etc etc) is at the heart of why amplifier to speaker matching (and synergy) is such an important concept, and so central to building a well performing system |
