| Vandersteen Quatro CT I got a chance to listen to the large Theils. I assume they are still selling them as he had them in the showroom. I didn't listen to their new stuff as I wanted to give them a fair shake. The owner set them up wth top of the line Krell. I honestl... | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a Interesting that so many owners love so many different types of amps with them. I have found them very easy to drive. They seem so neutral that if you love a brand of electronics that is what you will hear. Not all high end loudspeakers seem to be... | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Ayer is. I don't know about Hegel | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Don, that's cool. For me the Hegel stuff can be a bit bright and forward compared to Sim, Ayre, Pass and a few others. The Hegel can do a lot of great things though. I have hear the 300 on Magico's and although not my cup of tea, they did a lot of... | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a Richard LOVES the sound of SE and tubes. Yes, they mate so well from 100 up and then their own built in amp takes over. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT They may, but if I doubt it as it would be very expensive as even the xover is different between the two. I just got the new Ayre AX5/20 and it took the Treo ceramic to a new level. It's not even broken in and it's just SICK. To me that's teh sign... | |
| Power conditioner I can't wait to hear the new AQ Niagara conditioner when it comes out in August. Heard great things about it. | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a Yes, I've heard the upper end Vandy's with all the gear you are listing and they all sound great. Heck, the AR Ref 75 with AR pre was about as good as it gets one of the times I heard the 5A CT. It just was musical, dynamic, detalied without anyth... | |
| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? I actually have a quasar without the larger power supply that Im selling in his range so I don't see why it would be eliminated. Lots of good choices so far and like anything else they need to figure it out | |
| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? Heed Quasar is a little known but outstanding device. I've put it up against well known stages costing much more and it has held its own or bettered the other phono. i just bought a used Rhea which is in a different league. I kept passing on more ... | |
| Help for preamp and phono stage. Tube options I was speaking with a Linn dealer yesterday. He has had the line in the past and is picking it up again. I have enjoyed the line as it's very musical. I asked him about set up and associated components and he said that in his opinion, he feels tha... | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a Yes he used to make a socked one and now he makes only wood ones. The original one was a ceramic coated tweeter. Now he used the carbon fiber technology he gathered from the Model 7 mark 2. I think the tweeter is the same one that's in the 5, but ... | |
| Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus And these will lower the noise floor? What other benefits have you heard? I won't become obsessed, however I may be willing to experiment a bit. Thanks | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a I have the Treos and am about to upgrade to Quatro CT's. I just got an Ayre AX5/20...Like folks said,AyreARAesthetixMost any great neutral amp will work wonderfully, but these are what he uses to show them at shows much of the time. | |
| Power Supply for a music PC I'm not sure which model I have, but it's his best as I purchased it from a designer who used it with his server for shows. This thing is a beast size wise, but man do I love this server. I have no idea how many rails or anything. thanks of the up... |
