Another Best sounding room
I lived in San Diego and Bruce at stereo unlimited was awesome. Yet another VAndy dealer and I wasn't even into those back in the 80's lol 
Incredible review of Vandersteen 7 mkII in...
Nice to hear Tom. That's awesome. I finally got a SR Power cell 10 and it does isolate the digital. It's amazing how inky black my system can get. Just a very low noise floor. Heard the Quatros this weekend along with the 5&7's. Getting that h... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Why limit it to speakers you've only owned.  It's ever heard.  Many of us get out a lot to stores and audition many speakers. In the last couple of weeks I've heard speakers ranging in price from 250k to 200.  I've not liked most of what I've hear... 
Best near wall high end speaker
What a day and eye opener yesterday.  YES Virginia there ARE some choices for against the wall speakers.  Many have been mentioned in this thread.  NOLA has some small ones that are also built to go up against the wall or even a book case.  Very i... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Sorry to have missed you Matt.  There are a few of us in the NJ area who can get there within a few hours drive. We should try and set up a get together one of these days.  Even if we did it on a Sunday, I'm sure I could get Johnny to open the sho...

I"m heading down to Audio Connection on Saturday to audition the Vandy Quatro CT's with the Ayre AX5/20.  I will be auditioning the Romulus Eclipses as Johnny is in love with it and Matt had such nice things to say.  Sorry I missed you guys at the... 
Best near wall high end speaker
I'll be at Audio Connection on Sat and will see what he has around that is as good as the Vandersteens against the wall.  I was at a dealer listening to some Sonus Faber and the new B&W 803D's and no way either of those are near wall placement... 
Best near wall high end speaker
I tried my Treo's up against the wall. Just 6 inches out and the bass definitely was reinforced and the sound staging didn't change all that much at all. If you live near any dealers of these speakers I hope you get a chance to listen. Please let ... 
Vandersteen Quatro CT
Why would it be an error? Maybe that was sarcastic, but I don't think so. What designer/manufacturer would want their name attached to what I posted? I've heard it from more than one designer/owner. It's not that their largest speaker isn't worth ...

Jeff and Matt, so sorry I couldn't make it down today. Glad I didn't try either and the MS stuff is kicking in. Very tired today, which doesn't happen too often for me anymore. Johnny is SO high on the Eclipse. I can't wait to get down there to he... 
Vandersteen Quatro CT
First off why would I ever give the name of folks who share things in confidence ? It's been more than a few folks who have mentioned it. Others have spoken about liking the model below the top of the line in other threads. Tom. I can't afford the... 
Best near wall high end speaker
Actually the VANDERSTEEN Quatros are made to be that close to the rear wall plus it has tunable bass so you wouldn't have that reinforcement problem. I'm moving up to those as soon as I sell my Treos which also sound great close to a wall. They bo... 
Vandersteen Quatro CT
WAs out last week and heard some Wilson speakers again and I just can't get into them. I heard them with AR ref, Mac and Ayre Ref/20 stack. Aurender and Esoteric provided the Ayre gear. Mac CD provided that source and the NAD Masters CD player/DAC... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Yea, sorry guys. I'm not familiar with Rowland like I used to be when they first started. I'd like to hear my Ayre vs it side by side in my system. I like a lot of gear to be honest. Not just Ayre, but until I find an integrated at the same price ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Never heard the Muraudio's. How old are they? Were they sold in the US?
