| Sound, neutrality and the pursuit of everything For me, one of the most important thing is tone, the correct/proper tone of each instrument and voice. The instruments and vocals must sound ‘correct’. After that, imaging, soundstage, and a ‘holographic’ presentation. And also for me, a very ‘big... | |

| Do you like your speakers aimed directly at each ear or.... My Vandy 2CE Sig I’s are almost straight ahead with very very little toe-in. Provides the best soundstage and imaging.Really, all speakers are different. | |

| Vandersteen 2W sub connection I will add, this all probably sounds like a pain the rear to simply hook-up a sub, but from what I have read, worth it when you get them set-up correctly. But....this set-up is more geared towards music, so the OP probably should not think the 2W ... | |
| Vandersteen 2W sub connection I believe he is bi-wiring his 2C’s, as he should, so will need an additional set of cables for the sub. Also, the older 2C’s only have banana connections (I have a feeling that may be what he purchased). I don’t believe the bare wire/spade connect... | |
| Vandersteen 2W sub connection Yes, perhaps an older model before the ‘q’ came out. As You have the WX-2, with the dip switches (internal) to be set per the impedance of your amp, I’m guessing the set-up is like the 2Wq. Also, make sure your WX-2 does indeed have the internal d... | |
| Vandersteen 2W sub connection Vandersteen has a manual you can download on their web site (I know you mentioned you have a manual, but make sure it is the correct one). Do you also have the WX-2 crossover box? Not sure you need that for the 2W, But do believe you need it for t... | |

Can’t you borrow it and find out?If your other DAC is better, return it and thank them for the offer.I use a PS Audio Digital Link III, yes it is ‘old’, but sounds better than either of my two built-in DAC’s, so all digital sources are fed to the ... | |

| Diminishing Returns @beetlemania but there is now a 2Ce Sig III.Yes, brand new from Richard. But as we are talking diminishing returns, and although I’m sure they are great for the money, even I would have a hard time making that purchase when I bought my Sig I’s for... | |

| Covering a TV behind your speakers? #1, I refuse to have my TV between the speakers. I just won’t do it. My TV is off to the side. But it seems most feel the need or impulse to dampen the area between the speakers, which may not be the best solution to maintain the full and detailed... |
