Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT


I am considering buying a pair of used Vandersteen Quatro Wood CTs. I have a few questions. Are the Hi-Pass filters easy to set up? It looks like you need a volt meter to set them up. In addition, if you want to change amps you have set them up again. I'm also, considering new Treo CTs. Is the jump up to the Quatros significant enough to deal with the Hi Pass filters? I may have to pay someone to set them up. I checked HIFI Shark for used prices and they are in the range of 7500 to 13K. New Treos list for 11K.

I’d go for the Quatros — whole other level of bass.  I’m not an expert, but I’ve never heard of anyone needing a volt meter to set them up, and it would surprise me if that was the case. 

You just need to know the input impedance of your amplifier.  The high pass filters are dip switch controlled and super easy to adjust.  The only time you need a volt meter is when you don’t know the input impedance of your amp. That procedure is not difficult either but obviously a little more involved.

ive had Quatros for years. They are worth the hassle to set up.

If you need help, just contact Vandersteen directly. Often Mr. V. will call back, himself.

Otherwise, you can find the directions on the Vandersteen website under Resources, then Manuals.

And, it you own Vandersteens, you can join our forum, too.
