Vandersteen Model 5, 5A 5C Owners


I am interested in hearing from Vandersteen Model 5 Series Speaker Owners:

1) Have you had your speakers set-up with the analyzer program/test tones?

2) If so what improvements did you hear?

3) What amplifier(s) are you using with your model 5s?

4) Do you prefer tube amps or Solid State Amplifiers and why?

5)  Are you using the speaker spikes?  On carpet, floors, etc.

6)  What speaker cables are you using?  Bi-Wire or Jumpers?

7) What other speakers would you consider auditioning at this point if you wanted to change speakers?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

If you read the well written owners 
manual you wouldn’t need to ask
These questions .

(((1) Have you had your speakers set-up with the analyzer program/test tones?)))

((((2) If so what improvements did you hear?)))
When doing in-room compensation and your amps input impedance are truly verified and performed correctly, also in the Manual the answer is obvious in clarity.
((((5) Are you using the speaker spikes? On carpet, floors, etc.)))) When you find the best speakers position, from your chair then do tilt back, leveled properly, spikes installed as the manual suggests it’s not that hard and most any decent amps gonna work ..Find a decent pair of affordable to you Bi-Wire the same gauge on treble and bass I use AQ set up correctly will make question 7 go away.
