Incredible review of Vandersteen 7 mkII in...


Audio Beat. Just read this review and wanted to share with those of us who LOVE our Vandersteen's as well as other's who just love reading reviews. I've followed this writer for awhile and appreciate their style and feel it's an fair review. They go into a lot of great detail that is a must read for any audiophile as it makes you think about speaker design in general. He has nice things to say about Wilson also and talks about the differing engineering views of each company. To me this was one of the better reviews I've read in a while as they did a ton of research and it's shows in the writing. Hope you all enjoy:

Have about 40 hours on them. coming from 5a and before that 3A SIG so you can see ( hear ) that I do not stray far from the fold ( nor the thinking, engineering and design and execution evolution ).
Are they perfect? Nope.
Are they better than 5A in every way ( except wood veneer not possible).. YES !
Very musical, engaging, relaxed yet percusive. VERY low distortion (pistonic)... System synergy important. i would class my choices in front of the 7's as decent stuff that each punches above weight class...Naim Uniti w Linear Supply, aesthetix Pandora SIG dac, ARc Ref 5 SE and Ayre VX-R...
Pretty much bliss.
Be all, end all to all ears..no way...looking for that is an endless road..
I am blessed to have them..
Staying upmpast bedtime discovering.ah
moved all the various Wall-Wart powered digital stuff : airport , network switch, RAID drive for server and server over to dedicated Furman power conditioner...

pre and dac on a dedicated circuit, amp another, subs on another, digital on another...

wow...

about 300 hours on 7's
