| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE TBG. I agree. That's why they make so many different speakers. I have really enjoyed many different speakers over the years. For some reason I have fallen in love with the VAndy line but others make great speakers too | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's I personally don't love the ML. Vandersteen is a very fast and clear speaker but it's still so engaging. listeninf is the only way. There is a reason we all love our Vandys though. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Check them out when you can. They draw you in while still being so honest. Big change in the mk 2 | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's Great response Tom. Go with Quatro CT and don't overthink. Just enjoy. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I just heard the Isis and loved it too. I have listened to the XLF in two different rooms that were all top of the line Boulder and DCS, but they didn't' connect with me. There are a few lines that I really have enjoyed recently. The new Proac lin... | |
| Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's Other than bass you will find the Quatro CT's better from the mids on up. The bass on the 5A's will have much more volume, however the quality of the bass will be similar. I have the regular Treo's and am still kicking myself for not getting the C... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I think my last post came off wrong. If so, I totally apologize. I fully understand what you are looking for. I do wish you were able to get every one of the speakers you have heard into your room to really see how they'd do. You have done s... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Gear, I don't doubt it. That said, he didn't even bring the Vandersteen 7's into his room and they too are flat all the way out (all of Vandersteens are). They have near pistonic drivers and sound the way you mention you like things, but he didn't... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Well put Agear. I've been around this hobby since '69 and have found most dealers can't set up a speaker to save their lives and/or a room. Most of the rooms do suck as they have to cram so many speakers in there. That's why I make sure to call ah... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Loving this thread. Matt, glad you are getting so close. It's funny as I was dealing with much of the same in my system switch. Once I put the new Ayre Twenty in, I realized that I didn't have to chose between tube sound or SS sound at all. I'm su... | |
| Personal speaker evolution pagawan, I bet if you get to hear the Vandy vs those others you will fall in love. With Theil being owned by a new company, they seem to have changed sound. Personally, I felt Theils have always been a bit hot, but I can see what some folks like a... | |
| Incredible review of Vandersteen 7 mkII in... Tom, I'm jealous, lol... Listening to my Treo's right now and loving them, but wanting the Quatro's so badly, but can't afford them, lol. Glad I have the Treo's though and am glad you are enjoying the 7's. they are very very special and so far the... | |
| Best tube amp choice for Focal Electra 1038 Be Heard more Aesthetix gear and feel in love all over again, lol. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Heard a ton of horn stuff in Japan last month. Not impressed. Just not my cup of tea. Just made me want to get back home and listen to my Vandersteen Treo's. I do wish I could move up in the line, but I don't have the money for it right now, but f... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Of course everything matters. I too have not heard a speaker that I like better than the Vandersteen 7's and I haven't even had a chance to hear the MK2's. I've heard them many times, in many systems in many rooms and they always sound the way I l... |
