| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's Richard just won't talk about his upgrades unless asked about them. He's just a modest guy who loves to talk audio. When he finds special caps for instance, he won't talk about implementing them, but will just do it. Personally, I own Ayre too a... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present My wife would laugh at this thread. I'll get whatever I want, but I do always think about what she wouldn't mind. I too like a great auto painted finish right now and I used to build wood furniture for the house and can do veneering (a specialty... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Metoo, it's funny as I'm into personal audio too and am close friends with many IEM designers as well as DAP designers. Most are in Asia and Europe for those reasons you stated above. I can't go without my custom in ear monitors when traveling. ... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's Bump, just saying that he has constantly upgraded every part of the 2's since the last model. He's found recent ways to upgrade even more. Just upgrading basic components on boards can cost hundreds per pair. Just saying that we shouldn't think ... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's Hi Jafant (Mr Theil, lol).... Welcome. I need to get to LI to hear your system and you are always invited to CT to come listen. I will get Sam Laufer who owns Laufer Teknik's to come over and show off his source gear and DAC. Pizza is on me! lo... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's yes, it's amazing how shorting the signal path is to sound quality, lol. Get as much out of the path as you can and he's doing that. It's pretty exciting to see this in the 2. Did the 3 have the same controls as the 2 that are now gone? | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present justmetoo OP123 posts05-28-2020 8:08am@gostaI see, so 8 inches should be more than just enough, yes? 🤔 Michélle 🇿🇦 Hopefully so, lol. I honestly have enjoyed this thread as it's not about what sounds best. Heck, that's so individual too, and we ... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm up in Berlin. Half way between Hartford and New Haven. Live on a pretty lake. As for meeting him, I can't remember, but it was eon's ago. I know it was twice as those were the only times he was up here from what I had been told. Heck, I kn... | |
| Thiel Owners Didn't know you guys were islanders. I'm up in CT. Would love to meet up when things clear up, lol. I've never really been to Long Island other than Fischers island via boats and JFK, lol.I usually dislike the NYC dealers as everyone has been ki... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero mark, to my ears it wasn't close at all. I think with AQ the steps are larger between products than with other cable companies I audition. The Robin Hood are CRAZY CRAZY good and to me, the best value in their high end speaker cables. I just fe... | |
| Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction The great thing about an active speaker or even semi active is they are a perfect match. That can't be overstated when done properly. I'm getting the new Vandersteen M5 amps to mate with my Quatro's to make mine a true active speaker if you woul... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's Thanks Sunil. I can't wait to hear how you like them with the all in one Hegel. I can't believe they still are under 3500 a pair (off the top of my head I think I'm even a couple of hundred too high). | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Jafant. it's great to be posting a bit again. Jim was a neat guy. I was blessed to meet him a few times. The local dealer was the biggest Theil fan. he still owns a pair of the big ones. I think he finally got rid of the new ones though. ... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's LOL, Jim, same here. He has talked me into his M5 amps for the Quatro's. Call me when you can and let's catch up. I have been BLOWN away by those amps. Best amp I've heard under about 40k. Listening to Elton John, Live from Moscow with Ray Coo... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Another pretty cabinet are the Sonus Faber's. Most Italian designs are usually pretty. I'm not going on sound, just designs that are nice looking |
