Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??
Shake, if you ever followed my posts, I too didn't love the older Vandy's. I just didn't' get them. I went to Audio Connection and met Johnny. I was there to purchase the Proacs D series and ended up listening (reluctantly) to the Treo's. He had m...

Matt, that was a blast meeting up. I do wish you were there in the later part of the day. You'll hear what they really can do when when Johnny has time to get them up and running with your gear and warmed up. Hopefully we can get Richfield up ther...

Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??
What? Shakey, are you joking around or being serious? It's called an ad. Go speak with Johnny in his shop sometime and you'll understand he cares about you getting the sound YOU want. Are you saying that the speaker company has a poorly worded ad?...

Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??
It may be off the Metaphor site or something. He has to sell to eat still as do all the people who are in audio from journalists to any merchant. We all know that and it's why we need to listen before buying isn't it? Every Vandy dealer personally...
