Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these?

@gcknapp my acquire VLR CT with soundanchor stands plan got submarined by a pair of ancient Quad ESL-63 that i am refurbishing....

I could make an attempt to borrow a set of the VLR and stands and provide some comparison to the Treo CT, doubtful I could get the sub 3 at same time tho.....now that would be fascinating....but also quite room and musical taste dependant.....imo most music does not really require a true subwoofer...that is probably a seperate thread.....

Maybe they went to the guy asking for setup help ?
i hope so
i love the idea that somebody who appreciates music lucked into a fantastic set of speakers !!!!!

no kidding...that is either a scam or desperate for $$$ sale
well lets hope for the latter and that someone scored an incredible deal on Quattro.

yes Pete CT now going into a VLR signature !!!!!!

@ctsooner I guess I will race ya - model 1ci going to brother in law....so there will be an empty hole to fill in the “therapy room”

@drumsgreg 

looks like a dealer unamed has a pair to evaluate....RV says they sound fantastic....
$3225 the pair
unknown release date

so what I think would be killer is

start with those and a pair of Sound Anchor or other nuclear attack survivable non resonant stand... later add a Sub 3 and then eventually another.... and you have a system with both Treo and Quattro attributes at less $ or slightly more in case of Treo....

wow, cool.....

and per Swarm-Tim keep adding subs until your spouse kills ya or you reach Bass Nirvana ( note these events may occur simultaneously )

cool, so great you are enjoying....i have heard them on a lowly Bluesound powernode ROCK !!!!!!!!

my guess is they will be my #4 Vandy......

i seriously doubt it, i think the only retained component would be the cabinet.....but.. ?

not that I know anything..but.....IF I was laying out a VLR -Sig it would have

carbon tweeter
DBS crossover

and a VLR-7x

cabinet within cabinet stealth CF enclosure with less frontal area
Carbon both drivers
DBS filter
biwire
maybe an integral HRS coordinated stand....

they would not be inexpensive.....

i bet that a pair of the new VLR with carbon tweeter on Sound Anchor stands and flat to 4 somthing cycles will be giant killers.....
ha
big fun

dont forget the mighty 1ci
i bought a returned pair ( customer upgraded to Treo CT ) for my “ therapy”  room aka hunting/fishing work room....

i did listen hard to the VLR and it is a tough choice....i store a bunch of radial diffusers ( aka fishing rods ) in the corners and did not want stands to tip over....

i am still tweaking the setup but so far settling in

Denon table w Grado Ref Sonata into Dynavector P75 mk4 into McIntosh MX-110Z into McIntosh MC240 out to Audioquest Type 6 shotgun...

the alternate is NAIM Atom as preamp with a Synology NAS serving up CD quality wav files....

pretty fine...

pretty fine...

ya man, they are KEF killers.....real bass
what a hoot
enjoy !!!!!

the toe in advice also important, but how cool that you can experiment.....

IF ( probably more accurately when ) I get a third pair of Vandersteen, will most likely be VLR

find me a small box that is flat to like 47 HZ that size that can also image...ha

big fun

you are welcome
are you near a competent dealer or thinking used ?

see the very popular thread titled .7 Vandersteen.....
lots of love for them......
