| Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's LOL...The Marantz is hooked up to play BD on the TV up in my main listening area. I Sold the Ayre 7axe last year and got the AX5/Twenty the day it was announced. My unit was in their first couple they converted. Steve is a great guy. You have to s... | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's Guys, It's spoken about in the owners manual. It says that using the rear tweeter adds 100% distortion, because the front tweeter has reproduced all of the info in the recording. In over damped rooms one has 2 options. 1) play the main tweeter lou... | |
| Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's Tom, awesome. I haven't been back to San Diego since I moved in late 1986. I loved Bruce's store. Great guy and knew his stuff. That's where I heard Vandersteens the first time. Z, I have heard the Ayre 7 many many times and it's a great player, b... | |
| beryllium vs diamond What's happening is that like anything else the implementation of carbon or diamond is most important (like anything else). The true goal is true pistonic movement of the cone structure (that's the biggest part, but we all know there are so many o... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Too bad Avalon is loosing most of their top dealers as they won't advertise like the dealers want them to. Great sounding speakers. I heard the Times and they were really nice. Not worth the money for me compared to similar costing gspakers, but n... | |
| Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's Albert. you may be right and if so, wow. I also think that it's the first time that I've really opened it up. It just has sounded so great at realistic levels that I never feel the need to listen to it as loudly as I did as a kid. I'm glad I did. ... | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's Great thread. I'm about to upgrade to the Quatro's through Johnny. Still trying to figure out which wood I want. I wanted a Crimson red with tons of metallic flake, but it's way too costly, lol. Do many options Vandersteen offers and all are wonde... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Mel, I do like the new Magico's much better than before. No question for me. I have heard diamonds sound pretty good before too, but for some reason I have felt the carbon tweeters seem to be more natural. Again, just my ears. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mel guys is right as we all know. I just haven't been able to warm up to the Wilson's, Magico's, Raido's and many other top priced speakers. The ones using carbon seem to have a sound that I do like. The Be and Diamonds still don't do it for me. I... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, thanks for running this thread the way you have. Most of us have learned a ton. I put my money where my mouth is by purchasing the Empirical with all mods along with the mac mini server with Steve's power supply. When first reading this thre... | |
| beryllium vs diamond I've heard some Be's and some diamonds that I have liked, but some I haven't. The Magico's I heard were much smoother on top than what I remember hearing last year. They just aren't my speaker as I can't emotionally connect. I've honestly tried as... | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's Russ, who was the dealer? Does he live close enough to deliver and set it up for you? | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's The quatro? Great news. I'm sure you keep loving them. I'm trying like heck to swing a pair. | |
| beryllium vs diamond ,,,and that's why I'm selling my regular Treo's and getting the Quatro CT's as soon as I can afford them. As most know, I have travel a lot and I've listened to all the major and many of the minor speakers out there. That inlcudes teh 100k plus st... | |
| beryllium vs diamond In a perfect world you probably want a pure pistonic driver that is ultra light to get the purest of sound that it's being fed. I'd like to introduce carbon fiber/balsaood drivers. They can be used for all the drivers. There are so many advantages... |
