Thanks, for responding. Very helpful.

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.

I can’t lie that is what has always kept me away from those speakers. I probably would’ve bought a pair if not for that hassle. Or at least my opinion that it could be a hassle.

Don’t know if the filter is an additional charge when buying new, but Vandersteen now markets the Quatro evo, which does not use one. Speakers are tough to set up in general. I think the filter and eq setup looks relatively easy. Maybe easier overall for good sound. 
 

Greetings Referee1,

I've had the original Quatros - pre-wood days for decades.

Yes, the M5-HP is necessary for the Quatros proper functionality.

Every time I roll an amp into my system, I go through the setup process. Signal generator > M5-HP > Amplifier > DMM.  Don't be turned off from buying them because of this. I love the speakers.  (I have expensive TEK bench top sig gen and a few other cheapo from fleabay which are accurate enough. Of course I verify the test signal first in Hz.

Ask a friend with a good DMM  and decent skills in it's use.Or, pay someone for the first time. If you have several amps, do them one after another and write down the dip settings for all your amps. When new, the M5-HP filter was an additional charge.

Hope this helps; feel free to ask more........

Cheers,
