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.

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,

The HP filters are easy-peasy to set-up.  Any dealer can assist you or Vandersteen directly.  We used our preamp and amplifier on them and placed them almost up against the wall for WAF.  The sound amazing when matched with the correct components.  There is a chart on the cover of the filters so as mentioned before, once you know the amp specs or you can use a meter to measure that (place the probes on the meter on the output jacks and that is it) you are ready to go with each amplifier.  Nothing to be concerned about at all.

I love having the capability to dial in bass response on the Vandy speakers.

Happy Listening.
