| Old Dynaco Speakers? Sean, I wonder how many of the current posters here on this forum were around with these speakers to know if they "Sucked" or not. Kind of hard to get a pair this old in "Perfect" working order to compare to newer speakers.I agree with you. I sure... | |
| Old Dynaco Speakers? I used a pair of Dynaco A-25 speakers for a good while driven by a Dynaco Stereo 150 and a PAT 5 preamp. It made for excellent sound by any standards and you never felt anything was missing. My source (main) was a Dual 1229 Turntable with a Shure ... | |
| CD Player Advice Look for a used Meridian 508-20 or 508-24. They better those players by large margins. | |
| Vandies a good fit ? Good gravy Marakanetz, there is nothing mounted on the poles that support the grille cloth in any of the Vandersteens. The bass drivers are located in the cabinet below. Go to the Vandersteen web sight and look at the speaker. The drivers are moun... | |
| Subwoofer match for Vandersteen 3A sigs? Why would you want to? | |
| Amp blowing fuses The reason the fuses are there is to protect the unit from stuff like you just experienced. If the fuses do not continue to blow with a different set of interconnects, you have your solution. If something is wrong with the unit, it would blow the ... | |
| Vandersteen Model 2CE's: Should I upgrade? I agree that your current amp should be fine. The Vandersteen's as a whole do require power. I'm currently using a Belles 350A (250/ch @ 8 ohms) I have never felt the amp was remotely stressed for loud levels. I did use McCormack .5's back a while... | |
| Vandersteen Model 2CE's: Should I upgrade? Having used Vandersteen speakers for years, I will answer your questions like this--- The 2ce Signature is a better sounding speaker than the 2ce and worth the change in my opinion. The 3A Signature is what I'm currently using and it is a giant le... | |
| Anyone use a Belles 150A to drive a difficult load As I can't agree with the above statements to the tonality of the Belles 150A, I will agree it is not the amp for extremely demanding loads. I used the 150A Hotrod with my Vandersteen 3A Signatures while being between amps. I thought its harmonic ... | |
| Questions about Aragon 2004 MKII It is probably an interface problem with your cables (speaker and/or interconnects) This is the first I have ever heard of the Aragon rolling highs. I don't know of any amps of recent vintage(solid state) that don't extend well out past 20K.Also, ... | |
| For Vandersteen 2Wq users. The 2Wq is designed to operate off of the speaker outputs of the amp. This was done by Vandersteen so that the mains and sub would have the same basic tonal character in the lows. I really do not know of an amp that will not pass a low frequency a... | |
| For Vandersteen 2Wq users. I totally agree with Aniwolfe. You must either make your filters out of a much higher grade cap or use the expensive Vandersteen model 5 crossover. The x-2 doesn't alter the frequency so much as it just isn't as transparent as it should be. It use... | |
| For Vandersteen 2Wq users. The crossover (or filter) is designed to roll the bass out of the mains at 6 db per octave. This is phase correct. In this respect, it does change the sound in a highly controlled fashion. The crossovers hinge point is set to be at about 80hz. Usi... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? Vandersteen's 2Wq is a 6db slope. It operates below resonance and requires a main speaker that will perform down to about 40Hz for seemless crossover. Also, one of the benefits of the Vandersteen subs is the insertion of the 6db crossover filter i... | |
| How do these Meridians compare to each other? Of the players listed, the Meridian 508-24 is the best sonically in my opinion. The Stereophile reviews in this instance agree with my assesment. The 508-24 has very, very low jitter which I feel gives it its ease of sound. The other players sound... |
