Thiel Owners
Add Brinkman to that list and you have zero feedback designs that work BEST with TRUE time and phase correct speakers like Thiel and Vandersteen.  Many speakers will claim they are like Wilson, but only the adjustable Wilson's are time correct, bu...

Brinkman is other worldly gear.  Just beautiful music... 
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
Guys, if a speaker is good, it will sound good on anything.  I asked Ricahrd about this some months ago as I too have always felt this way.  He totally agreed.  The one nice thing is that they are a full range speaker.  That's most important IMHO ... 
Diminishing Returns
The brand new Vandersteen 2 Sig mk3 should be on anyone's list under 3500.  He rebuilt the crossover and is using a top circuit board along with the same midrange that's in my Quatro's, lol.  He made a bunch of other changes.  I was told that thes... 
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
So far only the dealers.  Oh, of course Richard, Brad Richards kids, etc..... lol... I was told that these are on another level than the last version.  He's using top of the line components in that crossover.  The caps and inductors are VERY expen... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I've fallen for the Vandersteen Kēnto's for similar money. Best in class for my money and ears.  The point you make about getting a legit full range speaker that doesn't beam or smear and gives you all the octaves makes a ton of sense, especially ... 
How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present
My friend reviewed a pair of Kharma's for TAS.  I am not sure if it was published yet, but I can't wait to hear them. 
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
You will love them I bet.  The components on that board that are new will take these to another level. Folks just don't realize how great capacitors can make such a difference.  There are better and better ones made yearly and Richard knows what h... 
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
Jim, it's an analog volume control rather than the digital one it already has set up.  I don't need a switcher, so Richard said this was a good way to go.  Yes, let's all get together when we are able to.   
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
dynaquest, i laugh at your post calling my post as BS.  What a rude post, but that's fine by me.  Thanks though for telling me that what my wife shared with me was BS.  I guess you are the audio police and only your views are correct.  Maybe you d... 
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
I have had issues with purchases from overseas (to the US).  That's me.  I"m also not a big buyer of used speakers as they can have issues.  Most are fine, but you have zero recourse buying from folks you don't know etc...  That's just my take, be... 
Audioquest Firebird Zero
I'm sure it will get to another level.  Guys, before you start to mix cables, you may want to call your dealer or AQ directly.  I had been told not to do that as they aren't designed to be used with the other models.   
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
Don’t worry Bob, you were part of my thoughts as I know you are on the island lol.   
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
Not yet, but if you know someone who wants mine with the built in crossover for Vandersteen Quatro on up, let me know.  I can't post exactly what they did, but let's say the x over they installed was with their premium components and sounds as tra... 
Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction
erik, you can't argue with the ease, but my personal thoughts have never been positive and I think I've heard some of the more popular implementation's in the US market.  Again, it's all about ease vs performance.  It took us about 2 hours for Joh...
