Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's

GDNRBOB:

Telecon (also telcon) is 80's speak for telephone conversation (in this case the one you mentioned having with Richard Vandersteen).

A few inches (one way or the other) can make sizable differences in the bass/mid-bass qualityof a speaker, which is why I mention "time/effort" in my post.

Anyway, just saying do the best you can with what you have before adding subs/moving on et cetera.

While I own a 2W, I also own some Hsu  VTF-15H MK2. For $900 these will kill just about anything else at that price point, including the Vandies.

Dekay, I am from the 70's and I never heard or used 'Telecon'. Maybe it was a regional term. Maybe I'm growing forgetful... ;)

Slightly off topic, but I tried to start another discussion but got no response...
Is the M5-HT crossover limited to Vandersteen subwoofers? Can it be used with other brands?

Yea if you want big bump at 90 hz bass i guess you are right.
 
 Take a pair of 2WQs High Passed with the 3A sigs and play Ray Browns acoustic bass and see which sounds natural like music or closer to the Vandy Fives that you also seem to like. Even adding one more 2W will be amazing as a pair of 2WQs smooths out the bass in room response, High Passing allows your main amps burden from lifting below 80 hz and the whole system dramatically improves, increasing transparency and clarity.
