| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As So far this weekend I am thinking that the sub-amps are not working properly. Turned up to full volume they should be shaking my house but they are not. One has a pop when you plug it in and the other has a blown cap and resistor so that pop com... | |

| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As Thanks please keep your comments coming.@stringreen thanks for that info. The 5As are in excellent cosmetic condition not like my 5s which were in pretty bad cosmetic condition. My audio pal is on his way from Ohio today so we will have a go at ... | |
| Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As @nrenter No I am not sure. I used an oscillating sweeping tone and confirmed that all of the drivers are working. The one sub-amp has a blown capacitor and resistor but it still works. I have to order those parts and repair that sub amp (this w... | |

| Is this sign of getting old? I thought you were going to say that you had hair growing out of your ears! Elvis has left the building! | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I am wondering how many of your are in the NYC area. Still lots of dealers to go hear systems. I don't usually bother much these days as I don't hear systems that sound that good there anyway. BUT I am in the hunt for speakers. I currently upg... |
