Long time Vandersteen owner. 2CE Sig's and now 3A Signature II Anniversary Edition. Agree with consensus they will play anything, from soft unplugged acoustic to concert loud rock (like way past 11!). They will also quickly expose the short comings of poor equipment behind them. Vandy's have legs and need to breathe with ample, quality amplification, connections and receiver/preamp. Personally I run a Yamaha RX-Z7 to an 300wpc Adcom 5802 amp with MIT shotgun cables all the way. Slight tweaking of position or connection continues to surprise with new levels of detail in even my oldest recordings. Build a good foundation, experiment and enjoy. |
I have the 3A sigs for about a year now and could not be more impressed. I've attended many demo's prior to the purchase and heard a lot of great, and not so great speakers. The one thing that sucked me into Vandersteen was that I just couldn't stop listening to them. Some speakers I raved about imagining, others the level of detail but the 3A's I just listened and enjoyed. To me they are just make you want to listed instead of dissecting the pros/cons. I have an odd shaped room with high ceilings and I can not tell how much proper placement, tilt, toe and contour controls can improve the sound but even right out the box they sounded great....just very enjoyable to listen to with zero fatigue. when that woofer is pushed properly rock music is excellent |
the comments about value are absurd. Richard is hyper frugal and nothing absolutely nothing makes it into a speaker without adding value. The 3A sig use same tweeter and mid as the vaunted 5a Tyler while sourcing direct to consumer use Scanspeak drivers as do Vandersteen including a patented MID. As you should know Scanspeak has nothing to touch the carbon / balsa drivers at any price. perhaps you should start a Tyler thread vs. pollute helping the OP email me a picture of your 5 a carbons as you set them up, who was your dealer? |
