Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Shakey, stay on topic dude. I already have a few who are interested. I'm not in a hurry though ;)....anything else that I may answer for you about my life? Maybe we should all stay on topic, lol. Feel free to PM me with your questions though. 
Best speakers to buy for around $1,500
Common thread in this thread OP is that you have to give many parameters. For anyone who's just giving you speaker names, you can go to any site and look up speakers for under X amount, however no one knows what your room is or what your whole sys... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I like the perspective in my room, however I do want the Quatro's. I think they are the sweet spot in Richard's line. That's why the Treo's with two of his subs would get that larger size you eluded to. That's the speaker I'm saving up for and wil... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Tom, that's awesome. Do you own the NEW amps for them? I've now heard those with many of the top name amps out there and they always sound great. I LOVE Richards amps on them as well as the Ayre Ref/20's. Which AQ cable are you running with them? 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
He's a good guy I'm sure. Honestly, the OP is a great poster and I loved the way he dealt with things. Taught me a lesson or two. I personally hope he gets to hear the Treo's with the subs that are set up properly. That's basically like 98% of the...

That's freaking awesome Wlutke. Too funny as I'm not a biker (son wants to be though) and that's a fun read!

What's your source? Type of music you listen to? Room size and acoustics? Can you live without the last couple of octaves? (bass is the most expensive part). Do you have a good dealer near you? So many choices and most will just tell you what they...

Mr, M. wife is from Wisc...Have we talked about that yet? Maybe, Too funny. thanks for the laughShakey, I'll just go by your posts IRT your feelings on Vandy speakers. Just at I love them as do so many others (there's a reason they are so popular ... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt. what a thread. LOVING it more and more. Ive met you and we are in touch and I am shocked at what was posted too. Retailers run their business the way they want to and you haven't strong armed anyone. What they probably want is to win the sho... 
Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision
It's strange to me, but I'm no expert. Did the Rel give you problems using other sources? I'm sure there are some expert TT guys who may be able to help you out before you have to start with filters. That may be the way, but I wonder how many are ...

Shaky, you are out of your league on this one. Either way, why would it matter to you? IF OP loved the Treo sound and wanted the subs to get all of what he is looking for, shouldn't you be supportive? Nearly everyone who is active in this hobby wi... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Thanks for your response Shakey. If you read my resonses in this thread you know that I have said it may not be for him, so not sure where you get your post from. He said that it was both quality and quantity, so your statement doen't make sense t... 
Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision
Never had that problem. I run a Basis with the Basis 300 (Rega arm) and a Benz Glider. I get plenty of bass if it't recorded and it tracks like a pro. Sucks that you blew your sub. Is there something wrong with the set up possibly? 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
LOL..W, if you liked everything but the bass wasn't low enough, then you could easily get two Vandy subs to pair with the Treo's. YES, this WILL give you sub terrainian bass and of high quality. It will also help the Treo's a bit, but it will real... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Interesting. Bass is the most expensive part of the spectrum to get right. Teh Quatro's give you that last bit of deep, tuneful bass, but honestly I have had no problems getting great bass from mine as long as the recordings gave it to me. I have ...
