Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's


Like to get opinions on the Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT is it close to the 5A ( not the 5A Carbon. Is a used 5A still going to out perform the Quatro Wood CT.

Stringeen rear tweeter is used with a scenario like your wife just put drapes in your sound room , also her room which then makes this choice instantly scientific. JohnnyR
FYI Rosenut or Mahogany /Wal =/Mahogany stain on Walnut

Great thread. I'm about to upgrade to the Quatro's through Johnny. Still trying to figure out which wood I want. I wanted a Crimson red with tons of metallic flake, but it's way too costly, lol. Do many options Vandersteen offers and all are wonderful.I have cherry Treo's right now, but all the furniture I have made in my listening loft is quarter sawn white oak (highly figured), sapelle and mahogany. You always want an odd number of woods in your room to look right. Since the sapele is similar to mahogany, that gives me the option to do a different species of wood.

Russ, the nice thing is that you seem to have a great dealer to help you out with everything. Johnny, thanks for clearing up the rear firing tweeter for us. I always wanted a switch to turn the wife on or off, lol.
Johnny R ... I don't understand your explanation about using a rear firing tweeter. Stan's question seems reasonable.

I thought the main technical underpinning of Vandy speakers is that they use time coherent drivers. If a tweeter is firing backwards, doesn't that undermine the time coherence of the treble viz the front firing tweeter, ... aside from creating more sonic reflections?

Just askin' a question.
