Yeah, I knew that, but when the first post from No_Money appeared, it did not say Vandersteen, it just said 5a. How is one to know that out of all the multitude of audio and speaker manufactures out there they were talking about the Vandersteen?
Kclone,
I guess it all depends on what you have been exposed to. Those of us that dialog about this speaker have just shortend the name. Its kind of like referring to a "747" (Boeing) or a "350" (Chevy) or "911" (Date). I can be troublesome as you point out. Just ask as no one will mind.
