Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions


I just purchased a used set of Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT speakers that will be delivered in a week or so. I am going to be doing the setup myself (help of my brother also). The Vandy Quatro / CT manual has very good detail and I am reading, preparing and starting to really understand the process. 

Vandersteen recommends using natural instrument Jazz recordings because they say these offer the most realistic and accurate sonic reproductions. They even recommend using Ray Brown Soular Energy. Can anyone recommend any other similar reference recordings?

Does anyone have any general recommendations and tips for Vandy speaker setup? Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Your dealer should provide set up. I know Johnny at Audioconnection does.

We seem to share the same setup. Though I only have lowly non-
CT Treo's, thanks to Ctsooner.

It looks like Utra Fidelis is in your state (I don't know how close they are to you...).
I would give them a call and see if they can give set up.
If they are anything like John Rutan, they will provide all necessary info.
If they aren't, give Johnny a call or email or PM (Agon ID-audioconnection). I know he will guide you through the process.
And, if you are still stuck, call Vandersteen and leave a message. Mr. V. usually calls back the next day. But, be concise, as he can be a bit brusque.

That is great to hear. I probably should have John Rutan set up my Treo's. (But, I hate to have him see my placement- there is only one place for them in my room).
