| Vandersteen Seven Review Heck, I used to buy from Bruce when I lived there with the Navy in the 80's. He was a great dealer and I have some NAD gear and Stax gear I got from him still. Met Ricahrd Vandersteen there for the first time too. He had the Sota vacuum TT that I ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? I have the Aesthetix phono stage that I just hooked up, but I don't have the CT version Treo's. They sound GREAT together. | |
| Ayre with Wilson Ayre has both Audioquest and Cardas in house. They may well have others too. I have never liked Wilson personally, but some of that was because they were so revealing. Lately they have sounded much better, but are still too bright for me. That's w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, this goes for any great speaker and not just Vandy's. I don't see how you can get a good read from a show. Music is about the emotion and evolvement. The contestants who win those tV shows have the big dynamic voices (mostly). The TV's in a ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, as you know I have liked the Hansen's when I've heard them in the past. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Marten's. I have heard their little brother as they were on my short list when I got my Vandy Treo;s as I found a use... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? M, very cool. I haven't been to that dealer yet. I'm sure I will on my next trip back to Wisc though. Wife has a ton of good friends where you live. She sells insurance and still keeps a ton of clients in Wisc.Fun being in a thread where folks 'ge... | |
| Ayre with Wilson I assume you are talking the VX and KX-5 Twenty's? I heard the mono twenty's and was blown away. I need to get down to Audio Connection soon to hear the VX-5 Twenty. I am sure it's killer. I can't state enough what the Twenty did to the AX-5. I'm ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Interesting. | |
| Ayre with Wilson I have an Ayre AX5/20. We played it on Sophia's, Sasha and Alexandria I think they call it. They used the Vallhala cabling and also the Transparent. I hated both as it made the speakers way too hot. I think that Ayre and Audioquest work great toge... | |
| Personal speaker evolution We all really hear differently. I have friends who swear by Magico, however I have never 'got' them. I have heard them on so many occasions now, but they aren't doing anything differently than many speakers in their price range. I have found the V... | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Wife is from Wisc and heading out there today. Great state. Glad you got the Treo CT's..You will love them. I'm surprised he thinks the added subs are better, but I can understand that as you can position them anywhere. I was told by a few folks w... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Been LOVING my Vandersteen Treo's for a few months now. The system is finally cooking with the new Ayre AX5 Twenty and Empirical Audio OSDE SE. I hear a huge difference in my high res stuff now. I still want the Vandersteen Quatro's as the bass ca... | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review Funny, but my spouse NEVER has listened with me. She'll enjoy the background music, but tonight we have spent the last many hours just listening to my Treo's with OSDE and Ayre AX5 Twenty and she's loving it. It's because there is just NO listener... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Jeff and Matt, it will be fun to hear your thoughts on the M1. I've heard it and was mightily impressed. | |
| Vandersteen 5A to Carbons?? Sorry Johnny, lol. Mr. m He's in Verona, NJ....I'm in CT, but travel down there and have been more than happy with everything. He's as good a dealer as I've met and I've been in this hobby since '69..... good luck... |
